Subject: [PATCH 2/2] platform/x86: asus-wmi: fix screenpad brightness scaling
Date: Thu, 12 Feb 2026 23:02:52 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260212220252.1526337-3-denis.benato@linux.dev> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260212220252.1526337-1-denis.benato@linux.dev>

Fix incorrect brightness scaling by removing the inconsistent use of an
arbitrary minimum.
