Not all platforms provide the full range of PWM backlight capabilities
supported by the hardware through ATIF.
Use the generic drm panel minimum backlight quirk infrastructure to
override the capabilities where necessary.

Testing the backlight quirk together with the "panel_power_savings"
sysfs file has not shown any negative impact.
One quirk seems to be that 0% at panel_power_savings=0 seems to be
slightly darker than at panel_power_savings=4.

Thanks; This is the kind of thing I was worried about.

Harry, Leo,

Is that expected?  I wonder if we need to internally turn off panel 
power savings in display code when brightness falls a threshold (12 IIRC 
was the real "minimum" advertised in the table?).

How much darker? Is it bothersome?

I wonder the FW and driver have different min backlight values now.

Leo, any thoughts?

Was this questions for meant for me?
To me personally it's absolutely not bothersome.
I probably wouldn't have noticed it if not explicitly looking for it.

Friendly ping.
