SubjectRe: [PATCH] platform: fix samsung brightness min/max calculations
Date
From: Jason Stubbs <jasonbstubbs@gmail.com>

For one of the SABI configs, the valid brightness levels are 1 through 8 with
0 being reserved for the BIOS. To make the range 0-based, the driver is meant
to offset values to/from userspace by 1 giving valid levels of 0 through 7.

Currently, the driver is reporting a max brightness of 8 and doing the offset
the wrong way such that setting a brightness of 8 will set as 7 in hardware
while setting a brightness of 0 will attempt (and fail) to set as -1 in
hardware.

This patch fixes these calculations as well as a potential miscalculation due
to an assumption of min_brightness being either 0 or 1.
