Indeed. Interestingly the following doc (with a high search rank in Google) has exactly this inconsistency and uses different values at different times: http://www.photonstophotos.net/GeneralTopics/Exposure/Psychometric_Lightness_and_Gamma.htm > > Signed-off-by: Rasmus Villemoes <linux@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Reviewed-by: Daniel Thompson <daniel.thompson@xxxxxxxxxx> > --- > drivers/video/backlight/pwm_bl.c | 12 +++++++++--- > 1 file changed, 9 insertions(+), 3 deletions(-) > > diff --git a/drivers/video/backlight/pwm_bl.c b/drivers/video/backlight/pwm_bl.c > index 2201b8c78641..be36be1cacb7 100644 > --- a/drivers/video/backlight/pwm_bl.c > +++ b/drivers/video/backlight/pwm_bl.c > @@ -155,8 +155,8 @@ static const struct backlight_ops pwm_backlight_ops = { > * > * The CIE 1931 lightness formula is what actually describes how we perceive > * light: > - * Y = (L* / 902.3) if L* ≤ 0.08856 > - * Y = ((L* + 16) / 116)^3 if L* > 0.08856 > + * Y = (L* / 903.3) if L* ≤ 8 > + * Y = ((L* + 16) / 116)^3 if L* > 8 > * > * Where Y is the luminance, the amount of light coming out of the screen, and > * is a number between 0.0 and 1.0; and L* is the lightness, how bright a human > @@ -169,9 +169,15 @@ static u64 cie1931(unsigned int lightness, unsigned int scale) > { > u64 retval; > > + /* > + * @lightness is given as a number between 0 and 1, expressed > + * as a fixed-point number in scale @scale.
