[PATCH] dell-laptop: Fix keyboard led max_brightness property for Dell Latitude E6410

[Pali Rohár]

This machine reports number of keyboard backlight led levels, instead of
value of the last led level index. Therefore max_brightness properly needs
to be subtracted by 1 to match led max_brightness API.

Hi! I have not tested this patch yet, but I'm sending it, so other people
including Gabriel can test or review it.

If you have better idea how to call that quirk variable, then fell free
to rename it. I'm not happy with "kbd_led_num_of_levels_instead_of_last_index"
but I have nothing better in my mind.

Which field is behaving differently?

If I'm understanding this correctly:

Since the max level is something we test for once at runtime, it seems
to me a cleaner fix would be to check for this quirk in kbd_get_info()
and set kbd_info.levels accordingly. The rest of the driver logic would
then remain unchanged.

The idea being to translate what the platform firmware reports into what
the driver already understands, instead of giving the levels fields of
the structure multiple meanings.

Great, this is a good idea. I would send a new patch in a few minutes.

Sorry for last minute review comments.

First of all, can it be just boolean?

Naming... Yes, too hard as always was, is and will be.

What about just

kbd_led_use_levels?

Also, does it make sense to create a quirks as an unsigned long and
put there corresponding bits with definitions?

/* Comment what is this for */
#define QUIRK_KBD_LED_USE_LEVELS   0

unsigned long quirks;

?

> +       if (quirks && quirks->kbd_led_num_of_levels_instead_of_last_index && info->levels)

With last suggestion if becomes something like

if (quirks & BIT(QUIRK_KBD_LED_USE_LEVELS) && info->levels)

Yes, touchpad_led and needs_kbd_timeouts are booleans too.

If you code:

  if (quirks->kbd_led_use_levels)
    info->levels--;

Then I think it does not help reader what that quirk represent.

Problem is that part of quirk structure is variable length array
kbd_timeouts. So one unsigned long does not help.

OK, I forgot to comment on this one :-)

A name should be descriptive, but that's just too much. So let's use something
shorter, and add a comment if one is really needed to explain what it is.
Something like:

u8 kbd_led_reports_num_levels is shorter, but still awfully long.

u8 kbd_led_num_levels  is shorter, but obviously looks like it should be the
levels value instead of a bool. So the above is probably best.

> * Update kbd_info.levels at initialization time based on quirk

This looks much cleaner IMO, thanks.

OK, I forgot to comment on this one :-)

A name should be descriptive, but that's just too much. So let's use
something
shorter, and add a comment if one is really needed to explain what it
is.
Something like:

u8 kbd_led_reports_num_levels is shorter, but still awfully long.

u8 kbd_led_num_levels is shorter, but obviously looks like it should be
the
levels value instead of a bool. So the above is probably best.

I will be happy to test out whichever patch(es) present the most
appropriate approach, as a matter of consensus.

Would that be the PATCH v2
(https://patchwork.kernel.org/patch/10015149/) that I should be testing?

thanks,
