[PATCH 11/14] drm/i915: Call acpi_video_register_backlight()

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

 



On machins without an i915 opregion the acpi_video driver immediately
probes the ACPI video bus and used to also immediately register
acpi_video# backlight devices when supported.

Once the drm/kms driver then loaded later and possibly registered
a native backlight device then the drivers/acpi/video_detect.c code
unregistered the acpi_video0 device to avoid there being 2 backlight
devices (when acpi_video_get_backlight_type()==native).

This means that userspace used to briefly see 2 devices and the
disappearing of acpi_video0 after a brief time confuses the systemd
backlight level save/restore code, see e.g.:
https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=269920

To fix this the ACPI video code has been modified to make backlight class
device registration a separate step, relying on the drm/kms driver to
ask for the acpi_video backlight registration after it is done setting up
its native backlight device.

Add a call to the new acpi_video_register_backlight() after the i915 calls
acpi_video_register() (after setting up the i915 opregion) so that the
acpi_video backlight devices get registered on systems where the i915
native backlight device is not registered.
