Ubuntu 21.10 does not succeed at setting the display brightness after
booting (either to the GNOME login screen or to a logged-in user's
desktop). The brightness is at its highest level until I adjust it with
keyboard shortcuts or a GUI tool.
The systemd-backlight@backlight:amdgpu_bl0 service seems to fail during
startup, but I can subsequently run it after startup and it succeeds
(and restores brightness):
mdmower@T14S ~ $ sudo systemctl status systemd-backlight@backlight:amdgpu_bl0
