From e1c412e75754ab7b7002f3e18a2652d999c40d4b Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Jani Nikula Date: Wed, 5 Nov 2014 14:46:31 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] drm/i915: safeguard against too high minimum brightness Never trust (your interpretation of) the VBT. Regression from commit 6dda730e55f412a6dfb181cae6784822ba463847 Author: Jani Nikula Date: Tue Jun 24 18:27:40 2014 +0300 drm/i915: respect the VBT minimum backlight brightness causing div by zero if VBT minimum brightness equals maximum brightness. Despite my attempts I've failed in my detective work to figure out what the root cause is. This is not the real fix, but we have to do something.
