VESA backlight enable is possible when
BACKLIGHT_AUX_ENABLE_CAPABLE is true via AUX command or when
BACKLIGHT_PIN_ENABLE_CAPABLE is true via eDP connector pin.
Similarly, backlight brightness adjustment can be
done via AUX-based control or PWM pin-based control.
It means there can be three configurations:
1) Full AUX-based: Enable and adjustment both via AUX. We currently
   support this (apart from the AUX luminance-based backlight control).
2) Hybrid: Enable via the BL_ENABLE pin, adjustment via either AUX or
   PWM.
3) Fully PWM pin-based: Enable via the BL_ENABLE pin, adjustment via
   PWM.
Since that only 1 is supported as of now we need to make
sure we do not try to manipulate backlight when
BACKLIGHT_AUX_ENABLE_CAPABLE is not set.
Also fix return value when condition is not fulfilled.
