[PATCH] drm/amdgpu: Clamp the ATIF backlight curve to its 99 points
From: Hugo Sales
Date: Sat Oct 31 2026 - 11:40:05 EST
amdgpu_atif_query_backlight_caps() stores the firmware's number_of_points
as data_points but copies only the 99 points that luminance_data[] holds.
number_of_points is a u8, so a firmware table that claims more makes the
custom curve code in amdgpu_dm index past the array, and
dm_query_extended_brightness_caps() copy past the end of the
data_points[] buffer it fills
Clamp the count to ATIF_QBTC_MAX_DATA_POINTS and warn, since a table
that claims more is a firmware bug

The other ATIF checks log at debug level because they make the call fail
and the driver falls back to its defaults. Here the driver keeps going
with a truncated curve, so this one warns
