From: Jason Stubbs <[email protected]> The min_brightness value of the sabi_config is incorrectly used in brightness calculations. For the config where min_brightness = 1 and max_brightness = 8, the user visible range should be 0 to 7 with hardware being set in the range of 1 to 8. What is actually happening is that the user visible range is 0 to 8 with hardware being set in the range of -1 to 7.
This patch fixes the above issue as well as a miscalculation that would occur in the case of min_brightness > 1.
