Subject: [PATCH v5 0/4] 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.
