Hi All, As mentioned in my RFC titled "drm/kms: control display brightness through drm_connector properties": https://lore.kernel.org/dri-devel/0d188965-d809-81b5-74ce-7d30c49fee2d@xxxxxxxxxx/ The first step towards this is to deal with some existing technical debt in backlight handling on x86/ACPI boards, specifically we need to stop registering multiple /sys/class/backlight devs for a single display. This series implements my RFC describing my plan for these cleanups: https://lore.kernel.org/dri-devel/98519ba0-7f18-201a-ea34-652f50343158@xxxxxxxxxx/ This new version addresses the few small remarks made on version 1 (mainly changing patch 1/29) and more importantly this finishes the refactoring by else addressing all the bits from the "Other issues" section of the refactor RFC (resulting in patches 15-29 which are new in v2). Please review and test! I hope to be able to make an immutable branch based on 5.20-rc1 + this series available for merging into the various touched subsystems once 5.20-rc2 is out.
