drm: panel-backlight-quirks: Add brightness mask quirk

Certain OLED devices malfunction on specific brightness levels.
Specifically, when DP_SOURCE_BACKLIGHT_LEVEL is written to with
the first byte being 0x00 and sometimes 0x01, the panel forcibly
turns off until the device sleeps again.

Below are some examples. This was found by iterating over brighness
ranges while printing DP_SOURCE_BACKLIGHT_LEVEL. It was found that
the screen would malfunction on specific values, and some of them
were collected.

Therefore, introduce a quirk where the minor byte of brightness is
OR'd with 0x03 to avoid the range of invalid values.

This quirk was tested by removing the workarounds and iterating
from 0 to 50_000 value ranges with a cadence of 0.2s/it. The
range of the panel is 1000...400_000, so the values were slightly
interpolated during testing. The custom brightness curve added on
6.15 was disabled.
