Public bug reported:
When plugging-in the AC adapter, the backlight brightness is
automatically set to a specific value, overriding any previously set
user-defined value.
#Brightness value set after plugging-in AC Adapter
$ cat /sys/class/backlight/intel_backlight/actual_brightness
5850898
The above value corresponds to 60% of maximum brightness.
Similarly, when plugging-out the AC adapter, the backlight brightness is
automatically set, albeit to a lower value
#Brightness value set after plugging-in AC Adapter
$ cat /sys/class/backlight/intel_backlight/actual_brightness
4517782
The above value corresponds to 48% of maximum brightness.
Expected behavior when plugging-out AC adapter
> If brightness below 48% threshold, do nothing
> Else, set brightness to 48%
Expected behaviour when plugging-in AC adapter
> If brightness below 60% threshold, set brightness to 60%
> Else do nothing.
Also, the threshold levels should be user-definable.
