[PATCH 00/14] drm/kms: Stop registering multiple /sys/class/backlight devs for a single display

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Hi All,

As mentioned in my RFC titled "drm/kms: control display brightness through
drm_connector properties":
https://lore.kernel.org/dri-devel/0d188965-d809-81b5-74ce-7d30c49fee2d@xxxxxxxxxx/

The first step towards this is to deal with some existing technical debt
in backlight handling on x86/ACPI boards, specifically we need to stop
registering multiple /sys/class/backlight devs for a single display.

This series implements my RFC describing my plan for these cleanups:
https://lore.kernel.org/dri-devel/98519ba0-7f18-201a-ea34-652f50343158@xxxxxxxxxx/

Specifically patches 1-6 implement the "Fixing kms driver unconditionally
register their "native" backlight dev" part.

And patches 7-14 implement the "Fixing acpi_video0 getting registered for
a brief time" time.

Note this series does not deal yet with the "Other issues" part, I plan
to do a follow up series for that.

The changes in this series are good to have regardless of the further
"drm/kms: control display brightness through drm_connector properties"
plans. So I plan to push these upstream once they are ready (once
reviewed). Since this crosses various subsystems / touches multiple
kms drivers my plan is to provide an immutable branch based on say
5.19-rc1 and then have that get merged into all the relevant trees.

Please review.

Regards,

Hans
