Bug Description

[Impact]
The brightness could not be adjusted, and after resumed the screen is blank.

[Fix]
It looks like below commit in oem-5.10 introduces the regression
   ade9f1d9f14ef drm/i915/dp: Program source OUI on eDP panels
But it's not the culprit as mainline kernel doesn't have this issue.
So, adding a quirk on this commit to make it only affect on a certain Dell platform to avoid the issue. Will figure out the problem and submit a formal fix later.

[Test]
Verified on Dell and HP platforms, both platforms work well.

[Where problems could occur]
The quirk should be pretty safe for other platforms.

I just compared the test results in -1021(NG) and -1023(OK) kernels and could confirm the fix in one of the affected HP machines.
