Documentation for sysfs backlight level interface requires that values in both 'brightness' and 'actual_brightness' files are interpreted to be in range from 0 to the value given in the 'max_brightness' file. With amdgpu, max_brightness gives 255, and values written by the user into 'brightness' are internally rescaled to a wider range. However, reading from 'actual_brightness' gives the raw register value without inverse rescaling. This causes issues for various userspace tools such as PowerTop and systemd that expect the value to be in the correct range. Introduce a helper to retrieve internal backlight range. Use it to reimplement 'convert_brightness' as 'convert_brightness_from_user' and introduce 'convert_brightness_to_user'.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
