The short version

What changed, and why it matters

This is a code cleanup change in the Trezor hardware wallet's screen-brightness controls. It changes internal number types from 16-bit to 8-bit to match the display driver, and removes temporary workarounds that converted the values. The commit message says the code was reviewed and no safety problems were found. There is no indication this fixes an active security bug; it is a defensive type-safety refactor.

Recommended action

Treat as a normal refactor. No urgent action required. If auditing, verify that `theme::backlight::get_backlight_min/max/normal` always return values within `u8` range and that downstream consumers of `NumberInputSliderDialogMsg::Changed` expect `u8`.

Security signals we found

01

Type narrowing from u16 to u8 to match driver API, reducing risk of out-of-range backlight values

02

Removal of fallback `display::set_backlight(255)` branches that previously executed on conversion failure

03

Addition of debug_assert!(min < max) in NumberInputSliderDialog::new

04

Intermediate arithmetic still uses u16 to avoid 8-bit overflow during percentage scaling
