            Bug ID: 221879
           Summary: Max brightness broken since 6.18.42 / 7.1.6
           Product: Drivers
           Version: 2.5
          Hardware: All
                OS: Linux
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P3
         Component: Video(DRI - non Intel)
          Assignee: drivers_video-dri@kernel-bugs.osdl.org
          Reporter: augustin@trancart.eu
        Regression: No

# Description

When setting my brightness to 100%, the display becomes very dim. It goes back
to bright when going back to 95%.

According to some users [1], this affects framework 16 laptops (at least AMD
5900HX NVIDIA RTX 3070 Max-Q and FW16 AMD 7840HS without dGPU). One user also
reported this with another non-framework laptop.

Seemingly all linux distros are affected (at least Fedora Silverblue, NixOS
26.05, EndeavourOS Linux 7.1.6) and various DEs.

I've identified 490ceacd2162de919a142bcb4eff363bb493b1de as a potential culprit
(in the 6.18.43 branch) because I don't reproduce any more if I build my kernel
with this commit reverted (The commit is
1191285ecb4233e5bf907da7e9394d7999055566 for the 7.1.6 branch).

The correct procedure would be to find the proper bug tracker (this one's not)
and search for the existing tickets (the issue has already been resolved).
