Subject: [PATCH v1 1/4] platform/x86: asus-wmi: fix unclear usage of bd->props.power
Date: Wed, 16 Sep 2026 14:38:25 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260916143838.170950-2-denis.benato@linux.dev> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260916143838.170950-1-denis.benato@linux.dev>
The bd->props.power is checked in parts of the driver correctly
comparing with BACKLIGHT_POWER_ON, while in others with a raw usage
of bd->props.power and !bd->props.power, moreover in certain checks
the logic has been inverted due to BACKLIGHT_POWER_ON being defined
as 0: fix both the wrong usage and the inconsistencies by using
proper comparisons.
Fixes: 130d29c5627c ("platform/x86: asus-wmi: adjust screenpad power/brightness handling")
