Screen brightness can only be changed once on HP ZBook Fury 16 G10.
Vendor identified the root cause as Linux doesn't invoke _PS0 at boot
for all ACPI devices:
Scope (\_SB.PC00.GFX0)
{
Scope (DD1F)
{
Method (_PS0, 0, Serialized) // _PS0: Power State 0
{
If (CondRefOf (\_SB.PC00.LPCB.EC0.SSBC))
{
\_SB.PC00.LPCB.EC0.SSBC ()
}
}
...
}
...
}
The \_SB.PC00.GFX0.DD1F is the panel device, and its _PS0 needs to be
executed to make the brightness control work properly.
_PS0 doesn't get invoked for this device because _PSC is missing,
which violates ACPI spec 6.3, section 7.3.6. Commit 7cd8407d53ef
("ACPI / PM: Do not execute _PS0 for devices without _PSC during
initialization") tried to workaround missing _PSC on defective
firmwares, but got reverted because of regression.
So the safest approach is to use acpi_device_fix_up_power_extended() to
put ACPI video and its child devices to D0 to workaround the issue.
