[PATCH AUTOSEL 4.18 100/113] drm/amd/display: Read back max backlight value at boot

From: Sasha Levin <hidden>
Date: 2018-08-30 22:12:08
Subsystem: amd display core, drm drivers, radeon and amdgpu drm drivers, the rest · Maintainers: Harry Wentland, Leo Li, David Airlie, Simona Vetter, Alex Deucher, Christian König, Linus Torvalds

From: David Francis <redacted>

[ Upstream commit 53a53f8687faf492df2644d8c18ff0217fc18730 ]

[Why]
If there is no program explicitly setting the backlight
brightness (for example, during a minimal install of linux), the
hardware defaults to maximum brightness but the backlight_device
defaults to 0 value.  Thus, settings displays the wrong brightness
value.

[How]
When creating the backlight device, set brightness to max
