Subject: [PATCH] power: Trigger re-normalization on out-of-band brightness
changes
When brightness is auto-managed by ALS, we still have two situations
where the brightness changes do not come from it:
- User changes to the display brightness, either through keybindings,
or the sliders in the shell menu being changed.
- Dimming requests on user inactivity.
The response to both should be similar, the abrupt brightness change
can alter ALS readings, so the brightness resulting of the change must
be used as a new baseline for normalization.
Tracking of user-triggered changes is done through a new BrightnessChanged
signal in the org.gnome.Shell.Brightness D-Bus interface. This will do
nothing on older versions of GNOME Shell without the signal, so effectively
brightness changes would not trigger a re-normalization there, as before.
If the signal exists and is emitted, then it will be used.
(cherry picked from commit 5af04e7742701849e4f1ac04b340a3acf3a3345f)

Subject: [PATCH 5/7] power: Rework ambient light sensor normalization
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit
This reworks the normalization and fixes two things in particular:
The percentage `pc` is an int so if we want values different
from `0` and `1` we need to use floating point division.
When gsd-power controlled the backlight it would init that value from
the backlight on startup but we don't have that available anymore so
can only pick an arbitrary value.
Co-authored-by: Guido Günther <agx@sigxcpu.org>
Fixes: 08ae6461 ("power: Switch from direct mutter backlight handling to Shell.Brightness")
