Subject: [PATCH v5] drm/dp: clamp PWM bit count to advertised MIN and MAX
capabilities
According to the eDP specification (VESA Embedded DisplayPort Standard
v1.4b, Section 3.3.10.2), if the value of DP_EDP_PWMGEN_BIT_COUNT is
less than DP_EDP_PWMGEN_BIT_COUNT_CAP_MIN, the sink is required to use
the MIN value as the effective PWM bit count.
This commit updates the logic to clamp the reported
DP_EDP_PWMGEN_BIT_COUNT to the range defined by
DP_EDP_PWMGEN_BIT_COUNT_CAP_MIN and _CAP_MAX. As part of this change,
the behavior is modified such that reading _CAP_MIN and _CAP_MAX
registers is now required to succeed. Before reading these registers
was optional.
This ensures correct handling of eDP panels that report a zero PWM
bit count but still provide valid non-zero MIN and MAX capability
values. Without this clamping, brightness values may be interpreted
incorrectly, leading to a dim or non-functional backlight.
For example, the Samsung ATNA40YK20 OLED panel used in the Lenovo
ThinkPad T14s Gen6 (Snapdragon) reports a PWM bit count of 0, but
supports AUX backlight control and declares a valid 11-bit range.
Clamping ensures brightness scaling works as intended on such panels.

Changes in v5:
- Correctly check return value when reading PWMGEN_BIT_COUNT_CAP_MIN
and _CAP_MAX.
- Link to v4: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20250330-wip-obbardc-qcom-t14s-oled-panel-brightness-v4-1-85ef0991bdf8@linaro.org
Changes in v4:
- Remove unrelated whitespace changes.
- Remove unrelated commit change.
- Add note to commit message about changing read of PWMGEN_BIT_COUNT_CAP_MIN
and _CAP__MAX from optional to required.
- Link to v3: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20250330-wip-obbardc-qcom-t14s-oled-panel-brightness-v3-1-156801d97a8a@linaro.org
Changes in v3:
- Properly rebase patch on top of latest version of drm-misc-next.
- Make patch more generic by clamping PWM bit count to advertised MIN
and MAX capabilities (suggested by Dmitry).
- Link to v2: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20250327-wip-obbardc-qcom-t14s-oled-panel-brightness-v2-1-16dc3ee00276@linaro.org
Changes in v2:
- Split backlight brightness patch from T14s OLED enablement series.
- Use PWMGEN_CAP_MIN rather than MAX (Dmitry).
- Rework commit message to reference eDP spec.
- Rebase on drm-misc-next.
- Link to v1: https://lore.kernel.org/all/20250325-wip-obbardc-qcom-t14s-oled-panel-v2-4-e9bc7c9d30cc@linaro.org/
