The short version

What changed, and why it matters

This commit is a routine code cleanup of the screen backlight driver in Trezor hardware wallets. It changes function return types from plain integers to booleans and from signed to unsigned 8-bit values, and removes redundant range checks. There is no indication this fixes a security vulnerability; it appears to be a refactoring for code clarity and type correctness.

Recommended action

No immediate action required. Treat as normal refactoring. If integrating, verify downstream callers handle the new bool return values correctly and that uint8_t narrowing does not alter behavior on any platform-specific code paths.

Security signals we found

01

Type narrowing: int changed to uint8_t for backlight levels

02

Return type change: functions now return bool success instead of current level

03

Removed explicit range checks that become redundant with uint8_t parameter

04

No changelog entry, suggesting internal refactoring
