i915 kerner driver can't initialize two connected LVDS outputs

The bug appears from Ubuntu 18.04 and persists in Ubuntu 20.04 and 20.10.

The hardware:
00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation Atom Processor Z36xxx/Z37xxx Series Graphics & Display (rev 11)

The bug appears only if both LVDS-Outputs are connected to TFT panels at the same time.

3) Expected (works at Ubuntu 16.04):
The graphic card is properly initialized and the intel_backlight links appear:

ll /sys/class/backlight/
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 0 Feb 11 2016 intel_backlight -> ../../devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:02.0/drm/card0/card0-eDP-1/intel_backlight/
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 0 Feb 11 2016 intel_backlight ../../devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:02.0/drm/card0/card0-eDP-2/intel_backlight/

Both TFT panels connected via LVDS are on and are showing the desktop.

4) What happens instead:
The the initialisation of the graphic card by the i915 kernel driver fails:

dmesg | grep dup
[ 2.951765] sysfs: cannot create duplicate filename '/class/backlight/intel_backlight'
[ 2.951792] sysfs_warn_dup.cold+0x17/0x35

The /sys/class/backlight/ directory is empty.

Modesetting fails:
xrandr shows only one eDP-1 output and the disconnected outputs HDMI-1 and VGA-1 are gone.

The TFT-Panels are off.
