[PATCH] drm/amd/display: Set AMDGPU_DM_DEFAULT_MIN_BACKLIGHT to 0

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



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.

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.
