Title: Stop using get_scalar_status command in Dell AIO uart backlight driver Status in linux package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Status in linux-oem-osp1 package in Ubuntu: New Status in linux source package in Bionic: Incomplete Status in linux-oem-osp1 source package in Bionic: Fix Committed Status in linux source package in Eoan: In Progress Status in linux source package in Focal: Incomplete Bug description: [Impact] The get_scalar_status command was provided by ODM engineer and was newly introduced to determinate whether scalar is responsible for the backlight adjustment. That guy asked the scalar vendor to add this command and the command works as expected. But there is already a command in the Dell AIO scalar UART command spec. which can do the same thing since 2015, and the newly introduced get_scalar_status command is undocumented. To prevent from introducing regression in the future and to align with what Windows uses, replace this command with get_display_mode command. [Fix] Replace get_scalar_status command with get_display_mode command. [Test] Verified on new Dell AIO platforms. [Regression Potential] Low, the command is already in the spec. since 2015.
