In hindsight the disable_backlight_sysfs_if flag was a mistake and I should have fixed this differently (I wrote the code adding that flag). And now it is sorta getting in the way of cleaning up the backlight handling. So IMHO removing disable_backlight_sysfs_if is the best thing to do here. > I do not have a patch for this (I assume it > would involve creating quirk tables, checking for support for > HCI_PANEL_POWER_ON, etc).

Note this will be on top of my other backlight cleanups, so I will just send you an email pointing to a git branch to tes, I hope this will be ok? > However, do we know what the other Toshiba's that need this > quirk also supports HCI_PANEL_POWER_ON? I obviously can only > test the Z830 that I own. It seems that all models which need this are all from the same generation so I would expect the same fix to work. If I get regression reports from users after my cleanup series lands I can then take a closer look at the DSDT tables of the other models if necessary.
