Panel in my Dell XPS 7590, that uses Intel's HDR backlight interface to
control brightness, apparently needs a delay before setting brightness
after power on. Without this delay the panel does accept the setting
and may come up with some arbitrary brightness (sometimes it's too dark,
sometimes it's too bright, I wasn't able to find a system).

I don't have access to the spec, so I'm not sure if it's expected
behavior or a quirk for particular device.

Delay was chosen by experiment: it works with 100ms, but fails with
anything lower than 75ms.

Looks like we don't respect the panel delays for DPCD backlight. The
values are used for setting up the panel power sequencer, and thus PWM
based backlight, but we should probably use the delays in DPCD backlight
code too.

BR,
Jani.

This makes sense to me, you're referring to the panel delays in the VBT
correct?

Yes. See pps_init_delays() and intel_pps_backlight_on(). The delays
aren't applied to DPCD backlight, I think it would make sense if they
were.

I guess it explains why it usually stops working after suspend.
Probably BIOS doesn't re-init the power sequencer on resume.

The point is, the DPCD backlight isn't driven via the power sequencer,
while the PWM pin would be.

Please file a bug at [1], and attach /sys/kernel/debug/dri/0/i915_vbt as
well as dmesg from boot with drm.debug=14 module parameter set.

Thanks,
Jani.
