I appreciate your work on this, but what this in essence does is
it allows 2 backlight drivers (vendor + native) to get registered
for the same panel again. While the whole goal of the backlight refactor
series landing in 6.1 was to make it so that there always is only
*1* backlight device registered instead of (possibly) registering
multiple and letting userspace figure it out. It is also important
to only always have 1 backlight device per panel for further
upcoming changes.
So nack for this solution, sorry.
I am aware that this breaks backlight control on some Chromebooks,
this was already reported and I wrote a long reply explaining why
things are done the way they are done now and also suggesting
2 possible (much simpler) fixes, see:
https://lore.kernel.org/linux-acpi/42a5f2c9-a1dc-8fc0-7334-fe6c390ecfbb@xxxxxxxxxx/
Unfortunately the reported has not followed-up on this and
I don't have the hardware to test this myself.
Can you please try implementing 1 of the fixes suggested there
and then submit that upstream ?
Regards,
Hans
