There are several references to AUX CH backlight control being added in eDP v1.2 if you read further. "Table 10-1 summarizes the display brightness control modes available with eDP v1.2 (and higher)." "Displays that report eDP v1.1 (or lower; indicated by a value of 00h) have 00h values in DPCD Addresses 00701h through 007FFh a because enhanced display control capability is not supported. For eDP v1.2 (and higher), the Source device reads the eDP capability registers starting at DPCD Address 00701h. Through the use of read/write registers located within the range of DPCD Addresses 00720h through 007FFh, the Source device is able to control certain display aspects based on the capabilities reported h in DPCD Addresses 00701h through 0071Fh." > >>> On some panels, this causes backlight issues on S3 resume. > >> What is it that we are missing in the resume path? > I suspect this isn't so much a resume issue, as a matter of some devices > by sheer luck (read by using the backlight set already on bootup) > keeping the right backlight level until after a suspend/resume cycle.
