From 79946723092bde318ff11b3e57a02ba13a30b17e Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Lyude Paul Date: Thu, 16 Jan 2020 16:16:09 -0500 Subject: [PATCH] drm/i915: Assume 100% brightness when not in DPCD control mode Currently we always determine the initial panel brightness level by simply reading the value from DP_EDP_BACKLIGHT_BRIGHTNESS_MSB/LSB. This seems wrong though, because if the panel is not currently in DPCD control mode there's not really any reason why there would be any brightness value programmed in the first place. This appears to be the case on the Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Extreme 2nd Generation, where the default value in these registers is always 0 on boot despite the fact the panel runs at max brightness by default. Getting the initial brightness value correct here is important as well, since the panel on this laptop doesn't behave well if it's ever put into DPCD control mode while the brightness level is programmed to 0. So, let's fix this by checking what the current backlight control mode is before reading the brightness level. If it's in DPCD control mode, we return the programmed brightness level. Otherwise we assume 100% brightness and return the highest possible brightness level. This also prevents us from accidentally programming a brightness level of 0. This is one of the many fixes that gets backlight controls working on the ThinkPad X1 Extreme 2nd Generation with optional 4K AMOLED screen.
