FWIW, > > Acked-by: Jani Nikula <jani.nikula@xxxxxxxxx> Thanks :-) BTW, this patch is more of a fix for my previous commit 0b8db271f159 ("ACPI / video: check _DOD list when creating backlight devices") that made the acpi_video interface disappear on these affected laptops so I would like to fix it quickly. And I agree that a proper implementation of the DIDL/CADL list is needed so that people can get rid of the acpi_osi= cmdline option they currently need to get hotkey events.
