Hi,
this my first build of a 4.2-rcN Linux-kernel and I see this...
Just FYI:
I am *not* seeing this with drm-intel-nightly from below url.
Also, I plan to test Linux v4.2-rc5.

Knock Knock Knock.
This issue still remains here (with CONFIG_DRM_I915=m)...

Shall I add Rusty and modules/modprobe folks?
Just got back from vacation and was greeted by this same lockdep splat.
On a hunch I reverted

ACPI / video: Move backlight notifier to video_detect.c
and the problem seems to be gone. Hans, any thoughts?
Looking into this atm, lockdep clearly is right.
Sorry about this I have put a lot of thinking into avoiding
these kind of issues with this patch-set, but I did not realize
there was another lock "hiding" inside the notifier-chain.
Further analysis shows that the lock inside the notifier-chain
causes similar problems vs register_count_mutex from
drivers/acpi/acpi_video.c. I'm working on a fix for this
atm.
Heh, look at what I just found (I'm shifting my work focus
in the direction of nouveau) :
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1152876
So it looks like we have had the root cause of this issue
for a long time already, maybe my recent backlight selection
logic cleanup / rework has made it easier to trigger the
lockdep warning for this though.
Anyhow assuming people are ok with the fix I submitted
yesterday we've a fix for this now.
Regards,
Hans
