Subject: [PATCH v4 0/3] drm: Minimum backlight overrides and implementation
 for amdgpu

The value of "min_input_signal" returned from ATIF on a Framework AMD 13
is "12". This leads to a fairly bright minimum display backlight.

Introduce a quirk to override "min_input_signal" to "0" which leads to a
much lower minimum brightness, which is still readable even in daylight.

Tested on a Framework AMD 13 BIOS 3.05 and Framework AMD 16.

One solution would be a fixed firmware version, which was announced but
has no timeline.

Changes in v4:
- Switch back to v2 implementation
- Add MODULE_DESCRIPTION()
- Simplify quirk infrastructure to only handle min backlight quirks.
  It can be extended if necessary.
- Expand documentation.
- Link to v3: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20240731-amdgpu-min-backlight-quirk-v3-0-46d40bb21a62@weissschuh.net

Changes in v3:
- Switch to cmdline override parameter
- Link to v2: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20240623-amdgpu-min-backlight-quirk-v2-0-cecf7f49da9b@weissschuh.net

Changes in v2:
- Introduce proper drm backlight quirk infrastructure
- Quirk by EDID and DMI instead of only DMI
- Limit quirk to only single Framework 13 matte panel
- Link to v1: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20240610-amdgpu-min-backlight-quirk-v1-1-8459895a5b2a@weissschuh.net
