A true mainline Linux Kernel for the Pinebook Pro
Is anyone seeing a problem with a dim screen when booting a kernel built from recent versions of this?
I've built a kernel from a March 6 28ceb942df48e14ee1c2006 git commit, and booting it to no-X login.  Initially, and for around 3/4 of a second, the screen is at normal brightness, but at some point in the boot-up, the screen(/backlight?) gets very dim, and stays that way until I reboot.

I have some more investigation I can do, but I thought I'd check and see if anyone's run into something like this.
I'll post what I learn from my investigations if I don't find a solution in this thread.
