From what I understand, choosing a higher value of Pn offers more steps for brightness control. -DK <div class="HOEnZb"><div class="h5"> > + * 255 while still in the range Pn_min and Pn_max > + */ > + if (drm_dp_dpcd_readb(&intel_dp->aux, > + DP_EDP_PWMGEN_BIT_COUNT_CAP_MIN, &pn_min) != 1) { > + DRM_DEBUG_KMS("Failed to read pwmgen bit count cap min\n"); > + return; > + } > + if (drm_dp_dpcd_readb(&intel_dp->aux, > + DP_EDP_PWMGEN_BIT_COUNT_CAP_MAX, &pn_max) != 1) { > + DRM_DEBUG_KMS("Failed to read pwmgen bit count cap max\n"); > + return; > + } > + pn_min &= DP_EDP_PWMGEN_BIT_COUNT_MASK; > + pn_max &= DP_EDP_PWMGEN_BIT_COUNT_MASK; > + > + f = fxp >> pn_min; > + > + for (pn = pn_min; pn < pn_max && f > 255; pn++) > + f >>= 1; > + > + f = clamp(f, 1, 255); > + > + if (drm_dp_dpcd_writeb(&intel_dp->aux, > + DP_EDP_PWMGEN_BIT_COUNT, pn) < 0) { > + DRM_DEBUG_KMS("Failed to write aux pwmgen bit count\n"); > + return; > + } > + if (drm_dp_dpcd_writeb(&intel_dp->aux, > + DP_EDP_BACKLIGHT_FREQ_SET, (u8) f) < 0) { > + DRM_DEBUG_KMS("Failed to write aux backlight freq\n"); > + return; > + } > +} > + > static void intel_dp_aux_enable_backlight(struct intel_connector *connector) > { > struct intel_dp *intel_dp = enc_to_intel_dp(&connector->encoder->base); > uint8_t dpcd_buf = 0; > uint8_t new_dpcd_buf = 0; > uint8_t edp_backlight_mode = 0; > + bool freq_cap; > > if (drm_dp_dpcd_readb(&intel_dp->aux, > DP_EDP_BACKLIGHT_MODE_SET_REGISTER, &dpcd_buf) != 1) { > @@ -150,6 +214,10 @@ static void intel_dp_aux_enable_backlight(struct intel_connector *connector) > DRM_DEBUG_KMS("Enable dynamic brightness.\n"); > } > > + freq_cap = intel_dp->edp_dpcd[2] & DP_EDP_BACKLIGHT_FREQ_AUX_SET_CAP; > + if (freq_cap) > + new_dpcd_buf |= DP_EDP_BACKLIGHT_FREQ_AUX_SET_ENABLE; > + > if (new_dpcd_buf != dpcd_buf) { > if (drm_dp_dpcd_writeb(&intel_dp->aux, > DP_EDP_BACKLIGHT_MODE_SET_REGISTER, new_dpcd_buf) < 0) { > @@ -157,6 +225,9 @@ static void intel_dp_aux_enable_backlight(struct intel_connector *connector) > } > } > > + if (freq_cap) > + intel_dp_aux_set_pwm_freq(connector); > + > set_aux_backlight_enable(intel_dp, true); > intel_dp_aux_set_backlight(connector, connector->panel.backlight.level); > } </div></div></blockquote></div> </div>
