** Description changed:

  **Package:** linux-image-generic-hwe-26.04 7.0.0-28.28
  **Regression:** yes, 7.0.0-27.27 -> 7.0.0-28.28
  **Tags:** `regression-update kernel-bug i915 suspend-resume backlight 
resolute`
  
  ## Summary
  
  After upgrading to kernel 7.0.0-28, the internal display backlight does
  not come on when resuming from suspend. The machine is running after
  resume (it accepted a blind `sudo reboot` typed at the dark screen), but
  the backlight stays off. Increasing brightness with the brightness keys
  does not bring it on.
  
  The panel is still driving an image: screen contents are legible under a
  bright external light. The failure is therefore confined to the
  backlight, not a modeset or output failure.
  
  Booting 7.0.0-27 avoids the problem. Booting 7.0.0-28 with
  `i915.enable_dpcd_backlight=0` also avoids it.
  
  ## Hardware
  
  - **Machine:** Lenovo ThinkPad T480, machine type 20L6S0MD00
  - **BIOS:** N24ET81W (1.56), 2025-09-06
  - **GPU:** Intel Kaby Lake-R GT2 [UHD Graphics 620] `[8086:5917]` rev 07, 
subsystem `[17aa:225d]` (lspci reports "Lenovo ThinkPad T480 (20L5)")
  - **Panel:** LG Display LP140WF6-SPB7 on eDP-1 (model string read from EDID)
  - **OS:** Ubuntu 26.04 LTS (resolute)
  
  ## Steps to reproduce
  
  1. Boot 7.0.0-28-generic with stock kernel parameters (`quiet splash`).
  2. Suspend. The journal records `PM: suspend entry (deep)`.
  3. Resume.
  
  **Expected:** display lights up.
  **Actual:** panel stays dark. Brightness keys do not recover it.
  
  ## Observed: max_brightness differs between the two kernels
  
  Measured on this machine:
  
  | Configuration | `max_brightness` | Resume |
  |---|---|---|
  | 7.0.0-27, stock cmdline | **1515** | works |
  | 7.0.0-28, stock cmdline | **1023** | backlight stays off |
  | 7.0.0-28 + `i915.enable_dpcd_backlight=0` | **1515** | works |
  
  `enable_dpcd_backlight` reads `-1` (the default) on 7.0.0-28 when the
  failure occurs.
  
  *Interpretation, not measured:* 1023 is 10-bit full scale and 1515 is
  not a power-of-two boundary, which suggests the two kernels are driving
  the backlight through different control paths, and that the parameter
  selects between them. I have not confirmed from the driver which path is
  active in either case. That inference rests only on the `max_brightness`
  values and on the parameter changing the outcome.
  
  ## The failure is silent
  
  No errors or warnings related to the failure appear in the journal for
  the affected boots. `PM: suspend exit` completes, and i915 and mei_hdcp
  rebind.
  
  Backlight sysfs during the failure, with the panel dark:
  
  ```
  /sys/class/backlight/intel_backlight/brightness         1023
  /sys/class/backlight/intel_backlight/actual_brightness  1023
  /sys/class/backlight/intel_backlight/max_brightness     1023
  /sys/class/backlight/intel_backlight/bl_power              0
  ```
  
  `/var/lib/systemd/backlight/pci-0000:00:02.0:backlight:intel_backlight`
  contained `1023`, so the saved brightness value was not lost or zeroed.
  
  ## Regression range
  
  `linux-image-generic-hwe-26.04` was upgraded 7.0.0-27.27 -> 7.0.0-28.28
  on **2026-07-19 18:38 (UTC+1)**, unattended via packagekit
  (`Commandline: packagekit role='update-packages'` in
  `/var/log/apt/history.log`). 7.0.0-28 first booted 2026-07-22 15:14. The
  three-day gap is why the update was not initially suspected.
  
  From `journalctl --list-boots` and suspend entries per boot:
  
  | Kernel | Boots | Suspend entries | Outcome |
  |---|---|---|---|
  | 7.0.0-27 | 2 | 63 | boots lasted days, spanning many resumes |
  | 7.0.0-28 | 3 | 4 | each boot ended 39s to 2min after its first resume |
  
- The short sessions on 7.0.0-28 end in clean systemd shutdowns, from the
- machine being rebooted blind at a dark screen.
+ The short sessions on 7.0.0-28 end because the machine was rebooted
+ blind at a dark screen.
  
  ## Workaround
  
  Add to `GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT` in `/etc/default/grub`, then
  `update-grub`:
  
  ```
  i915.enable_dpcd_backlight=0
  ```
  
  `max_brightness` returns to 1515 and resume works. Confirmed working
  after this change. I have not yet run an extended soak of many suspend
  cycles.
  
  ## Checked and excluded
  
  - **Not `systemd-backlight` save/restore:** the saved value was intact and 
sysfs read back at maximum while the panel was dark.
  - **Not local misconfiguration:** no i915 module parameters set, no 
backlight-related files in `/etc/modprobe.d`, and the cmdline was stock `quiet 
splash` before the workaround was added.
  - **A userspace resume hook did not help:** an `/etc/systemd/system-sleep/` 
hook that cycled `bl_power` 4 to 0 and rewrote `brightness` on resume did not 
light the panel. Caveat: I did not independently confirm the hook executed on 
resume, so this is weaker evidence than the rest of this report.
  
  ## Not verified
  
  Listing these so they are not read into the report:
  
  - Which backlight control path the driver actually selects in either kernel.
  - Whether the machine is network-reachable while the screen is dark.
  - The specific upstream commit responsible. I did not bisect, and the shipped 
`linux-image-7.0.0-28-generic` changelog contains only packaging entries, so I 
could not identify a candidate change from the package itself.
  
  ## Possibly related prior art
  
  There is a history of this general symptom with DPCD/AUX backlight on
  i915. A commit adding a heuristic to choose automatically between AUX
  and PWM brightness control was reverted upstream after reportedly
  causing "enabling DPCD backlight leads to a black screen after
  suspend/resume":
  
  https://www.mail-archive.com/intel-
  [email protected]/msg126115.html
  
  That report concerns different and much older hardware (a ThinkPad X1
  Carbon 4th Gen and BXT-P), and predates this kernel by many releases. I
  offer it only as a pointer to a known failure mode in this area, not as
  a claim about the cause here.

  The short sessions on 7.0.0-28 end because the machine was rebooted
  blind at a dark screen.
  
  ## Workaround
  
  Add to `GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT` in `/etc/default/grub`, then
  `update-grub`:
  
  ```
  i915.enable_dpcd_backlight=0
  ```
  
  `max_brightness` returns to 1515 and resume works. Confirmed working
  after this change. I have not yet run an extended soak of many suspend
  cycles.
  
  ## Checked and excluded
  
  - **Not `systemd-backlight` save/restore:** the saved value was intact and 
sysfs read back at maximum while the panel was dark.
  - **Not local misconfiguration:** no i915 module parameters set, no 
backlight-related files in `/etc/modprobe.d`, and the cmdline was stock `quiet 
splash` before the workaround was added.
  - **A userspace resume hook did not help:** an `/etc/systemd/system-sleep/` 
hook that cycled `bl_power` 4 to 0 and rewrote `brightness` on resume did not 
light the panel. Caveat: I did not independently confirm the hook executed on 
resume, so this is weaker evidence than the rest of this report.
  
  ## Not verified
  
  Listing these so they are not read into the report:
  
  - Which backlight control path the driver actually selects in either kernel.
  - The specific upstream commit responsible. I did not bisect, and the shipped 
`linux-image-7.0.0-28-generic` changelog contains only packaging entries, so I 
could not identify a candidate change from the package itself.
  
  ## Possibly related prior art
  
  There is a history of this general symptom with DPCD/AUX backlight on
  i915. A commit adding a heuristic to choose automatically between AUX
  and PWM brightness control was reverted upstream after reportedly
  causing "enabling DPCD backlight leads to a black screen after
  suspend/resume":

  [email protected]/msg126115.html
  
  That report concerns different and much older hardware (a ThinkPad X1
  Carbon 4th Gen and BXT-P), and predates this kernel by many releases. I
  offer it only as a pointer to a known failure mode in this area, not as
  a claim about the cause here.
