Sure. To be clear, I actually tested the patch in your linux-next branch, which turned out to be a little different in that you have fixed the problem Igor raised here. I'll ask reporters to test on a stable tree with the following two patches on top: https://patchwork.kernel.org/patch/2812951/ (expose OSI version) https://patchwork.kernel.org/patch/2827793/ (your updated patch) or your linux-next branch, whichever they like. -Aaron > > Rafael > > >>> --- >>> drivers/acpi/internal.h | 11 ++++++ >>> drivers/acpi/video.c | 65 ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++---- >>> drivers/acpi/video_detect.c | 21 ++++++++++++ >>> drivers/gpu/drm/i915/i915_dma.c | 2 - >>> include/acpi/video.h | 11 ++++++ >>> include/linux/acpi.h | 1 >>> 6 files changed, 103 insertions(+), 8 deletions(-) >>> >>> Index: linux-pm/drivers/acpi/video.c >>> =================================================================== >>> --- linux-pm.orig/drivers/acpi/video.c >>> +++ linux-pm/drivers/acpi/video.c >>> @@ -44,6 +44,8 @@ >>> #include <linux/suspend.h> >>> #include <acpi/video.h> >>> >>> +#include "internal.h" >>> + >>> #define PREFIX "ACPI: " >>> >>> #define ACPI_VIDEO_BUS_NAME "Video Bus" >>> @@ -898,7 +900,7 @@ static void acpi_video_device_find_cap(s >>> device->cap._DDC = 1; >>> } >>> >>> - if (acpi_video_backlight_support()) { >>> + if (acpi_video_verify_backlight_support()) { >>> struct backlight_properties props; >>> struct pci_dev *pdev; >>> acpi_handle acpi_parent; >>> @@ -1854,6 +1856,46 @@ static int acpi_video_bus_remove(struct >>> return 0; >>> } >>> >>> +static acpi_status video_unregister_backlight(acpi_handle handle, u32 lvl, >>> + void *context, void **rv) >>> +{ >>> + struct acpi_device *acpi_dev; >>> + struct acpi_video_bus *video; >>> + struct acpi_video_device *dev, *next; >>> + >>> + if (acpi_bus_get_device(handle, &acpi_dev)) >>> + return AE_OK; >>> + >>> + if (acpi_match_device_ids(acpi_dev, video_device_ids)) >>> + return AE_OK; >>> + >>> + video = acpi_driver_data(acpi_dev); >>> + if (!video) >>> + return AE_OK; >>> + >>> + acpi_video_bus_stop_devices(video); >>> + mutex_lock(&video->device_list_lock); >>> + list_for_each_entry_safe(dev, next, &video->video_device_list, entry) { >>> + if (dev->backlight) { >>> + backlight_device_unregister(dev->backlight); >>> + dev->backlight = NULL; >>> + kfree(dev->brightness->levels); >>> + kfree(dev->brightness); >>> + } >>> + if (dev->cooling_dev) { >>> + sysfs_remove_link(&dev->dev->dev.kobj, >>> + "thermal_cooling"); >>> + sysfs_remove_link(&dev->cooling_dev->device.kobj, >>> + "device"); >>> + thermal_cooling_device_unregister(dev->cooling_dev); >>> + dev->cooling_dev = NULL; >>> + } >>> + } >>> + mutex_unlock(&video->device_list_lock); >>> + acpi_video_bus_start_devices(video); >>> + return AE_OK; >>> +} >>> + >>> static int __init is_i740(struct pci_dev *dev) >>> { >>> if (dev->device == 0x00D1) >>> @@ -1885,14 +1927,25 @@ static int __init intel_opregion_present >>> return opregion; >>> } >>> >>> -int acpi_video_register(void) >>> +int __acpi_video_register(bool backlight_quirks) >>> { >>> - int result = 0; >>> + bool no_backlight; >>> + int result; >>> + >>> + no_backlight = backlight_quirks ?
