> Subject: [PATCH v2] drm/i915/backlight: Check if VESA backlight is possible
> 
> Check if BACKLIGHT_BRIGHTNESS_AUX_SET_CAPABLE bit is set then
> EDP_PWMGEN_BIT_COUNT_CAP_MIN and
> EDP_PWMGEN_BIT_COUNT_CAP_MAX follow the eDP 1.4b Section 10.3.
> Which states min should be >= 1 and max should be >= min. Some legacy
> panels do not follow this properly. They set the
> BACKLIGHT_BRIGHTNESS_AUX_SET_CAPABLE bit while not correctly
> populating the min and max fields leading to a 0 max value.
> 
> Closes: https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/drm/xe/kernel/-/issues/7514
> Fixes: 40d2f5820951 ("drm/i915/backlight: Remove try_vesa_interface")
> Signed-off-by: Suraj Kandpal <[email protected]>
