From 22505b82a2800bddb67908522833bef96dd15845 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Aaron Lu Date: Fri, 2 Aug 2013 09:16:03 +0800 Subject: [PATCH] drm/i915: avoid brightness overflow when doing scale Some card's max brightness level is pretty large, e.g. on Acer Aspire 4732Z, the max level is 989910. If user space set a large enough level then the current scale done in intel_panel_set_backlight will cause an integer overflow and the scaled level will be mistakenly small, leaving user with an almost black screen. This patch fixes this problem.
