Subject: drm/amd/display: Initialise backlight level values from hw
X-Git-Tag: v6.19-rc6~20^2~1^2~6
X-Git-Url: http://git.ipfire.org/cgi-bin/gitweb.cgi?a=commitdiff_plain;h=52d3d115e9cc975b90b1fc49abf6d36ad5e8847a;p=thirdparty%2Flinux.git

drm/amd/display: Initialise backlight level values from hw

Internal backlight levels are initialised from ACPI but the values
are sometimes out of sync with the levels in effect until there has
been a read from hardware (eg triggered by reading from sysfs).

This means that the first drm_commit can cause the levels to be set
to a different value than the actual starting one, which results in
a sudden change in brightness.

This path shows the problem (when the values are out of sync):

   amdgpu_dm_atomic_commit_tail()
   -> amdgpu_dm_commit_streams()
   -> amdgpu_dm_backlight_set_level(..., dm->brightness[n])

This patch calls the backlight ops get_brightness explicitly
at the end of backlight registration to make sure dm->brightness[n]
is in sync with the actual hardware levels.

Fixes: 2fe87f54abdc ("drm/amd/display: Set default brightness according to ACPI")
