Subject: [PATCH 1/2] platform/x86: asus-wmi: adjust screenpad power/brightness handling
Date: Thu, 12 Feb 2026 23:02:51 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260212220252.1526337-2-denis.benato@linux.dev> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260212220252.1526337-1-denis.benato@linux.dev>

Fix illogical screen off control by hardcoding 0 and 1 depending on the
requested brightness and also do not rely on the last screenpad
power state to issue screen brightness commands.
