Hooray! We've managed to hit enough bugs upstream that I've been able to come up with a pretty solid explanation for how backlight controls are actually supposed to be detected and used these days. As well, having the rest of the PWM bits in VESA's backlight interface implemented seems to have fixed all of the problematic brightness controls laptop panels that we've hit so far. So, let's actually document this instead of just calling the laptop panels liars. As well, I would like to formally apologize to all of the laptop panels I called liars. I'm sorry laptop panels, hopefully you can all forgive me and we can move past this~ Signed-off-by: Lyude Paul <lyude@redhat.com> Acked-by: Ville Syrjälä <ville.syrjala@linux.intel.com> Link: https://patchwork.freedesktop.org/patch/msgid/20211105183342.130810-6-lyude@redhat.com
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.
