drm/amd/display: add parameter backlight_min

  There are some devices on which amdgpu won't allow user to set brightness
to sufficiently low values even though the hardware would support it just
fine.

This usually happens in two cases when either configuration of brightness
levels via ACPI/ATIF is not available and amdgpu falls back to defaults
(currently 12 for minimum level) which may be too high for some devices or
even the configuration via ATIF is available but the minimum brightness
level provided by the manufacturer is set to unreasonably high value.

In either case user can use this new module parameter to adjust the
minimum allowed backlight brightness level.

Thanks for this patch and covering all the bases.

It might be useful to have an example in the commit description on
how to set the array property. I assume it looks like this if I
wanted to set the first device to a minimum of 2 and leave the default
for the 2nd one:

amdgpu.backlight_min=2:-1

Either way, this patch is

Does your system require an override and if so, what is it?  It would
be good to add a quirk for your system as well so that other users of
the same system wouldn't need to manually figure out an apply the
settings.

Hello Harry,

thank you for your response.

> amdgpu.backlight_min=2:-1

almost :-)

Array elements in module parameters are separated by commas not colons.
So for cmdline it should look like this:
amdgpu.backlight_min=2,-1

Though you can just drop the ,-1 relying on kernel leaving the rest of array
untouched. Which I would recommend as there is no point for user to
follow AMDGPU_DM_MAX_NUM_EDP.
Only when you need to override some other display than display 0 then you may
need to use -1. E.g. backlight_min=-1,2 overrides display 1 to min backlight=2
while keeping display 0 with no override.

When amdgpu is loaded as a kernel module, backlight_min can also be passed as a
parameter to modprobe, e.g.:
modprobe backlight_min=2
So in that case you probably want to add something like
options amdgpu backlight_min=2 to /etc/modprobe.d/amdgpu.conf
(and also run update-initramfs if amdgpu is loaded by initramfs).

I'll add some examples to commit message in v2.

Hello Alex,

thank you for your response.

Yes, I have HP ENVY x360 Convertible 13-ay1xxx, and backlight_min=2
seems to work the best in my case.

I added a dmi based quirk table. So far with support only for display 0
to make it simple. Support for more displays in quirk table can be added
later if ever needed.

According to [1] HP ENVY x360 Convertible 13-ag0xxx also needs a quirk
so I'm going to use this to cover both:
DMI_EXACT_MATCH(DMI_SYS_VENDOR, "HP")
DMI_MATCH(DMI_PRODUCT_NAME, "HP ENVY x360 Convertible 13-")

So far it seems to be working fine.
I'll send this in v2 once I do some final tweaks and do more tests.

You might want to add an additional check for the panel name/vendor
from the EDID as well in case HP uses multiple panels from different
vendors on that system.

Hello,

thank you for this feedback.

I agree it would be nice to have this additional check but I'm not sure
if there is an easy way to do this.

I don't think we can add this to the EDID quirk table in drm_edid.c as
we also need to store the value for backlight min_input_signal.
There might also be different laptop manufacturers using the same panel
which only one of them needs a quirk or both of them might need a quirk
but with different value. Or there also might be more devices with the
same DMI but different panels where each panel needs a quirk with
different value.

So it seems if we want to cover all possible situations we need a nested
quirk tables for this. One main table for DMI matches where each record
would contain another table for EDID matches.

Then there's also a question of how to obtain the EDID.
The most simple and straightforward approach seems to be getting the
EDID vendor/product identification from dc_edid_caps. But this seems to
be going completely against the goal 10. in display/TODO.

So another approach I'm considering is to use drm_edid_get_panel_id but
for that we would need a pointer to i2c_adapter for the corresponding
backlight_link. Which I think is currently only available via
amdgpu_dm_connector which from dc_link is only accessible via void
*priv. Which seems like something that shouldn't be touched here.

So overall I don't know what would be the best way to implement this.
It also seems too complex I'm not even sure if it's worth the trouble
and maybe just hoping there won't be any two devices with the same DMI
but different EDID which only one of them would need a quirk while the
other would break with it might seem more reasonable.

Or maybe I'm missing something?
Please let me know what you think.
