This (partial) work-around should be sufficient for a majority of use-cases, but it is by no means a complete solution. TODO: Determine how best to scale "user" values to "hw" values, and vice-versa, when the ranges are of different sizes. That would be a buggy scenario even with this work-around. The issue was introduced in the following (v3.17-rc1) commit: 6dda730 drm/i915: respect the VBT minimum backlight brightness OTC-Jira: VIZ-4395 v2: (thanks to Chris Wilson) clarify commit message, use rounded division macro v3: -DIV_ROUND_CLOSEST() fails to build with CONFIG_X86_32=y. (Jani) -Use DIV_ROUND_CLOSEST_ULL() instead. (Damien) -v1 and v2 originally authored by Joe Konno. v4: Add reference to issue report in commit message. Signed-off-by: U.
