Description:
- Show the actual brightness by querying the hardware.
+ Show the actual brightness by querying the hardware. Due
+ to implementation differences in hardware this may not
+ match the value in 'brightness'. For example some hardware
+ may treat blanking differently or have custom power saving
+ features. Userspace should generally use the values in
+ 'brightness' to make decisions.
