Possibly, this is pretty arbitrary. Linear levels might not be the best option given that the human eye doesn't have a linear response to light power, but we could certainly have more levels. In that case I'd prefer modifying the pwm- backlight DT bindings though, and specifying the PWM resolution instead of discrete levels. Note that the LVDS panel backlight PWM control signal is multiplexed with the external memory A21 signal on the Salvator-X board, with SW5 selecting which how to route the signal. When using backlight control we can't access the whole NOR flash anymore, so I'm not sure this patch should be merged. > > + default-brightness-level = <6>; -- Regards, Laurent Pinchart
