From: Paulo Zanoni <paulo.r.zanoni at intel.com> When we enable/disable the CPU backlight registers we can't forget to enable/disable the PCH backlight registers. Since we're using the CPU registers we should also unset the override bit. Fixes a regression on the following commit: drm/i915: properly enable the blc controller on the right pipe The commit just deleted the code that sets the PCH registers, so it was relying on the values set by the BIOS. I told my BIOS to boot on the DVI monitor instead of the LVDS panel, so I noticed the bug.

I'm waiting confirmation from the bug reporter. Also, I did not really do the git bisect: I understood it is a regression from that commit just by reading the commit (and by the fact that backlight used to work until I upgraded my Kernel). diff --git a/drivers/gpu/drm/i915/intel_panel.c b/drivers/gpu/drm/i915/intel_panel.c index 58c7ee7..10c7d39 100644 --- a/drivers/gpu/drm/i915/intel_panel.c +++ b/drivers/gpu/drm/i915/intel_panel.c @@ -289,11 +289,17 @@ void intel_panel_disable_backlight(struct drm_device *dev) intel_panel_actually_set_backlight(dev, 0); if (INTEL_INFO(dev)->gen >= 4) { - uint32_t reg; + uint32_t reg, tmp; reg = HAS_PCH_SPLIT(dev) ?
