Hi,

Control of backlight brightness regressed with 7.1.6, possibly due to 
https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/commit/?id=1191285ecb4233e5bf907da7e9394d7999055566 
that may be incorrect.

On this kernel when you try to rise the brightness, it does so up to 
~95% then it suddenly falls to the minimum brightness. Conversely 0% 
gives you one step above the minimum brightness.

A possibly related discussion is at 
https://discuss.cachyos.org/t/brightness-lower-at-100-than-98-on-plasma-asus-g14/33957

Best regards,

Sergio

FWIW, the upstream report is here:
https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/drm/amd/-/work_items/5562

A stable specifc revert is discussed here:

Ciao, Throsten
