[solved] Framework AMD Ryzen 7040: screen much darker after upgrade

I am running Arch on a Framework 13 AMD Ryzen 7040. I today did a full upgrade, including the kernel. The laptop screen is now noticeably darker than it was before the upgrade. It now looks about as bright set to 25% as it used to when set to 10%.

This isn't a huge problem—obviously I can just make the screen brighter—but as part of learning my way round Arch, I would like to understand why this happened and whether I can change it.

Thanks
