Improper truncated integer division in the scale() function causes
actual_brightness != brightness. This (partial) work-around should be
sufficient for a majority of use-cases, but it is by no means a complete
solution.
TODO: Determine how best to scale "user" values to "hw" values, and
vice-versa, when the ranges are of different sizes. That would be a
buggy scenario even with this work-around.
The issue was introduced in the following (v3.17-rc1) commit:
6dda730 drm/i915: respect the VBT minimum backlight brightness
v2: (thanks to Chris Wilson) clarify commit message, use rounded division
macro
