I noticed while booting the new kernel that it starts out at a reasonable brightness, but at some point, around a second in, it switches to the lower brightness level.  My wild guess is that the kernel starts out with a compiled-in reasonable default, and then at some point in the bootup, it reads a config file from the filesystem and changes the brightness based on that.  (The downside to solid state storage is that this all scrolls by too fast for me to read what is printed when it changes the brightness).

I'm also wondering if this change affects intel-based laptops as well, or if it is limited to Arm64 laptops.  Or just the pinebook pro?
