Subject: [PATCH] platform/x86: asus-wmi: fix unclear usage of bd->props.power
Date: Wed, 19 Aug 2026 20:53:53 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260819205353.1651888-1-denis.benato@linux.dev> (raw)
The bd->props.power is checked in parts of the driver correctly comparing with
BACKLIGHT_POWER_ON, while in others with a raw usage of bd->props.power
and !bd->props.power, moreover in certain checks the logic has been
inverted due to BACKLIGHT_POWER_ON being defined as 0: fix both the wrong
usage and the inconsistencies by using proper comparisons.
Fixes: 130d29c5627c ("platform/x86: asus-wmi: adjust screenpad power/brightness handling")
Closes: https://lore.kernel.org/all/178362762638.911488.8564892548331679884@eldamar.lan/
Closes: https://lore.kernel.org/all/ea9c63d1-4776-49d5-9dc4-6c09498f99c9@linux.dev/
