Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.

[Why] To avoid flickering during boot default brightness level set by BIOS should be maintained for as much of the boot as feasible. commit 2fe87f54 ("drm/amd/display: Set default brightness according to ACPI") attempted to set the right levels for AC vs DC, but brightness still got reset to maximum level in initialization code for setup_backlight_device(). [How] Remove the hardcoded initialization in setup_backlight_device() and instead program brightness value to match BIOS (AC or DC). This avoids a brightness flicker from kernel changing the value. Userspace may however still change it during boot. Fixes: 2fe87f54 ("drm/amd/display: Set default brightness according to ACPI") Acked-by:Wayne Lin <Wayne.Lin@amd.com> Signed-off-by:
