Subject: Backlight control broken on UM325 (OLED) on 5.15 (bisected)
Date: Sun, 14 Nov 2021 11:56:57 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20211114105657.b57pjojiv72iopg5@fastboi.localdomain> (raw)

Hello,

the backlight control no longer works on my ASUS UM325 (Ryzen 5700U)
OLED laptop. I have bisected the breakage to commit 7fd13baeb7a3a48.

    commit 7fd13baeb7a3a48cae12c36c52f06bf4e9e7d728 (HEAD, refs/bisect/bad)

        drm/amdgpu/display: add support for multiple backlights
        
        On platforms that support multiple backlights, register
        each one separately.  This lets us manage them independently
        rather than registering a single backlight and applying the
        same settings to both.
        
        v2: fix typo:

I have encountered another user with the same issue on reddit[0].

The node in /sys/class/backlight exists, writing to it just does
nothing. I would be glad to help debugging the issue. Thank you very
much.

Regards,
