mipi_dsi_dcs_set_display_brightness() already converts the brightness,
so you don't need cpu_to_le16 here.
Tread carefully here: we've had the same issue and conversation on our
Sony panels where this extra inversion is required.
set_display_brightness() sends the bytes as little-endian to the panel
(and it even assumes little-endian in get_display_brightness()) but the
spec for 16-bit brightness values states that they have to be sent in
big-endian. This is why c9d27c6be518b ("drm/mipi-dsi: Fix byte order of
16-bit DCS set/get brightness") added
mipi_dsi_dcs_set_display_brightness_large().
Jessica, if you need to have the endian swap here (should be very easy
to test with a real panel, but it should be given the max_brightness
value being over 8 bits) please switch to the _large() variant.
Got it, thanks for the heads up!
Hi Marijn,
Just wanted to update this thread -- I've checked the backlight brightness values in the sysfs and it matches the value being given in the panel driver (255), so I think it should be fine to use *_set_display_brightness() without the _large() variant.
Sure, I was also misleaded by you using cpu_to_le16() but as Dmitry said it's already
done in mipi_dsi_dcs_set_display_brightness() and a no-op on LE arm64 platforms anyway.
Yuck, right, it's cpu_to_le16 here and not cpu_to_be16. @Jessica, can
you please remove this misleading conversion?
mipi_dsi_dcs_set_display_brightness() takes a native u16, not a specific
__le16.
Hi Marijn,
Acked, will drop the conversion.
Thanks,
Jessica Zhang
