Hi Jani,
I can now see /dev/drm_dp_aux*.
I'm not familiar with dd command.Correct me if I'm wrong.
Possible commands i tried and nothing happen:dd if=/dev/drm_dp_aux1 seek=723
ibs=2dd of=/dev/drm_dp_aux1 seek=723 ibs=2
dd if=/dev/drm_dp_aux2 seek=723 ibs=2dd of=/dev/drm_dp_aux2 seek=723 ibs=2
I assumed I could read the brightness msb and lsb using the define in
drm_dp_helper.h.
#define DP_EDP_BACKLIGHT_BRIGHTNESS_MSB 0x722#define
DP_EDP_BACKLIGHT_BRIGHTNESS_LSB 0x723

#define BRIGHTNESS 0x723
int main(int argc, char ** argv){ int fd; int retcode; char out[128];
if((fd = open("/dev/drm_dp_aux1",O_RDWR)) >=0) { printf("open success"); }
else { printf("open failed");
}
if((retcode = ioctl(fd,BRIGHTNESS,&out)) < 0) { printf("ioctl failed");
} else { printf("ioctl success");
}
// trying aux2 if((fd = open("/dev/drm_dp_aux2",O_RDWR)) >=0) {
printf("open success"); } else { printf("open failed");
}
if((retcode = ioctl(fd,BRIGHTNESS,&out)) < 0) { printf("ioctl failed");
} else { printf("ioctl success");
}
return 0;}
Thanks,John

If you're updating kernels, why not update to a recent kernel that's
actually supported...?

Boot the kernel, run 'ls /dev/drm_dp_aux*'. If you see stuff, you got it
right.

The device is a char device you can open, seek to an offset (which would
be the DPCD offset), and read. For testing, you can achieve the same
using dd.
BR,
Jani.
