Subject: [PATCH] drm/i915/backlight: fix CPU mode backlight takeover on LPT
MIME-Version: 1.0

The pch_get_backlight(), lpt_get_backlight(), and lpt_set_backlight() functions operate directly on the hardware registers. If inverting the value is needed, using intel_panel_compute_brightness(), it should only be done in the interface between hardware registers and panel->backlight.level.

The CPU mode takeover code added in commit 5b1ec9ac7ab5 ("drm/i915/backlight: Fix backlight takeover on LPT, v3.") reads the hardware register and converts to panel->backlight.level correctly, however the value written back should remain in the hardware register "domain".

This hasn't been an issue, because GM45 machines are the only known users of i915.invert_brightness and the brightness invert quirk, and without one of them no conversion is made. It's likely nobody's ever hit the problem.
