3.17-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------
From: "U. Artie Eoff" <ullysses.a.eoff@xxxxxxxxx>
commit 673e7bbdb3920b62cfc6c710bea626b0a9b0f43a upstream.
Improper truncated integer division in the scale() function causes
actual_brightness != brightness. This (partial) work-around should be
sufficient for a majority of use-cases, but it is by no means a complete
solution.
TODO: Determine how best to scale "user" values to "hw" values, and
vice-versa, when the ranges are of different sizes. That would be a
buggy scenario even with this work-around.
The issue was introduced in the following (v3.17-rc1) commit:
6dda730 drm/i915: respect the VBT minimum backlight brightness
Note that for easier backporting this commit adds a duplicated macro.
A follow-up cleanup patch rectifies this for 3.18+
v2: (thanks to Chris Wilson) clarify commit message, use rounded division
macro
v3: -DIV_ROUND_CLOSEST() fails to build with CONFIG_X86_32=y. (Jani)
-Use DIV_ROUND_CLOSEST_ULL() instead. (Damien)
-v1 and v2 originally authored by Joe Konno.
