Hi Luke,

Thank you for your patch.

For the next version please don't forget to

You have quite a bit of useful extra info in your cover-letter,
for the next version please add a copy of that info to your
commit message.

Hmm, in the coverletter you talk about 15 as min value
and 60 as default value when the value read back from
the hw at probe() time is < min.

I'm fine with using 20 instead of 15, but the whole
"The compromise was to set the brightness to 60 which is
a usable brightness if the module init brightness was under 15."
thing from your cover letter seems to be missing.

You are missing a " - ASUS_SCREENPAD_BRIGHT_MIN" here (you do add
it when storing values to asus->driver->screenpad_brightness
in update_screenpad_bl_status()).

Not sure you need the max() here, I don't think you ever store a value
below ASUS_SCREENPAD_BRIGHT_MIN in driver->screenpad_brightness ?

Not sure if you should update screenpad_brightness here on errors ?
Maybe add a "if (err == 0)" as condition ?

So screenpad_brightness is never below ASUS_SCREENPAD_BRIGHT_MIN here.

		brightness = ASUS_SCREENPAD_BRIGHT_DEFAULT;

Instead (new define for "60") ?

And you've checked brightness against ASUS_SCREENPAD_BRIGHT_MIN above,
so screenpad_brightness is never below ASUS_SCREENPAD_BRIGHT_MIN here either.

Otherwise this looks good to me.
