These panels communicate brightness in big endian. This is not a quirk
of the panels themselves, but rather, a part of the MIPI standard. Use
the new mipi_dsi_dcs_set_display_brightness_wide() function that
properly handles 16-bit brightness instead of doing special processing
of the brightness values.

Awesome! Thanks for this series, glad to know this isn't a weird panel
quirk aha.

This works fine on the OnePlus 6 (the user of this panel), so for both
