I pain, I know ;-) Thanks for the correction, here is an updated patch :-) From: Aaron Lu <aaron.lu@xxxxxxxxx> Date: Mon, 28 Apr 2014 11:02:52 +0800 Subject: [PATCH v2] drm/i915: restore backlight precision when converting from ACPI When we set backlight on behalf of ACPI opregion, we will convert the backlight value in the 0-255 range defined in opregion to the actual hardware level. Commit 22505b82a2 (drm/i915: avoid brightness overflow when doing scale) is meant to fix the overflow problem when doing the conversion, but it also caused a problem that the converted hardware level doesn't quite represent the intended value: say user wants maximum backlight level(255 in opregion's range), then we will calculate the actual hardware level to be: level = freq / max * level, where freq is the hardware's max backlight level(937 on an user's box), and max and level are all 255. The converted value should be 937 but the above calculation will yield 765. To fix this issue, just use 64 bits to do the calculation to keep the precision and avoid overflow at the same time.
