Research direction
The issue names no source file or test. Start by reproducing the brightness-slider behavior after updating from 515 to 525 on Fedora 37 or PopOS 22.04 with the listed kernels and GTX 1660Ti; done means the lowest two slider steps no longer max out brightness. No nvidia-bug-report log is attached, so the relevant driver path must first be located.
