Hans, thanks for bringing this up again. IIUC this would require something along the lines of: - Properly map acpi video bus children and DRM connectors in intel_didl_outputs(). This is likely the hardest part. Save the display ids in struct intel_connector. - Replace intel_setup_cadls() with functions to add/remove display ids from opregion CADL. - Call the above functions as part of the modeset sequence (either from intel_display.c or from the encoder hooks, whichever is best) to keep CADL up-to-date about active outputs. Here, getting DP MST right is probably the hard one. If the mapping goes wrong, and some id that used to be in CADL with the current code gets dropped, this may regress. That's the biggest risk, really. For the backlight/hotkey stuff, the minimal fix may be to keep the stupid static initialization of the CADL in intel_setup_cadls() like we have now, but ensuring the embedded displays are included in the list.
