[PATCH AUTOSEL 6.12 02/31] drm: Add panel backlight quirks

[PATCH AUTOSEL 6.12 02/31] drm: Add panel backlight quirks

[Sasha Levin]

From: Thomas Weißschuh <linux@weissschuh.net>

[ Upstream commit 22e5c7ae12145af13785e3ff138395d5b1a22116 ]

Panels using a PWM-controlled backlight source do not have a standard
way to communicate their valid PWM ranges.
On x86 the ranges are read from ACPI through driver-specific tables.
The built-in ranges are not necessarily correct, or may grow stale if an
older device can be retrofitted with newer panels.

Add a quirk infrastructure with which the minimum valid backlight value
can be maintained as part of the kernel.

This series [0] has been applied to the 6.12 and 6.13 stable trees.
However it is introducing new functionality and not fixing any bug.
Furthermore, for 6.12 the patch for drm/amd/display enabling the new
functionality was not even applied, making all of it dead code.

	Patches:
	drm: Add panel backlight quirks
	drm/amd/display: Add support for minimum backlight quirk
	drm: panel-backlight-quirks: Add Framework 13 matte panel
	drm: panel-backlight-quirks: Add Framework 13 glossy and 2.8k panels
