6.13-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------
From: Mario Limonciello <mario.limonciello@xxxxxxx>
commit b5a981e1b34e44f94a5967f730fff4166f2101e8 upstream.
[Why]
To avoid flickering during boot default brightness level set by BIOS
should be maintained for as much of the boot as feasible.
commit 2fe87f54abdc ("drm/amd/display: Set default brightness according
to ACPI") attempted to set the right levels for AC vs DC, but brightness
still got reset to maximum level in initialization code for
setup_backlight_device().
[How]
Remove the hardcoded initialization in setup_backlight_device() and
instead program brightness value to match BIOS (AC or DC). This avoids a
brightness flicker from kernel changing the value. Userspace may however
still change it during boot.
