AMDGPU_DM_DEFAULT_MIN_BACKLIGHT was set to the value of 12 to ensure no display backlight will flicker at low user brightness settings. However this value is quite bright, so for devices that do not implement the ACPI ATIF ATIF_FUNCTION_QUERY_BRIGHTNESS_TRANSFER_CHARACTERISTICS functionality the user cannot set the brightness to a low level even if the display would support such a low PWM. This ATIF feature is not implemented on for example AMD grunt chromebooks. Signed-off-by: Evan Benn <evanbenn@xxxxxxxxxxxx> --- I could not find a justification for the reason for the value. It has caused some noticable regression for users: https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=203439 Maybe this can be either user controlled or userspace configured, but preventing users from turning their backlight dim seems wrong.
