The acpi_handle is a "void *" so there is no warnings... > [ 1.970621] acpi_evaluate_BCL failed, 5 This error messages means there is no _BCL but the acpidump shows that there is. Anyway, please apply this patch on top of the existing one and attach dmesg, thanks, this can at least fix the above 4097 errors and let's see if things start to change: diff --git a/drivers/acpi/acpi_video.c b/drivers/acpi/acpi_video.c index 69b321580fa3..bdef49074372 100644 --- a/drivers/acpi/acpi_video.c +++ b/drivers/acpi/acpi_video.c @@ -765,6 +765,9 @@ int acpi_video_get_levels(struct acpi_device *device, int result = 0; u32 value; + pr_info("%s for device %s, handle %p\n", __func__, dev_name(&device->dev), + device->handle); + if (!ACPI_SUCCESS(acpi_video_device_lcd_query_levels(device->handle, &obj))) { pr_err("Could not query available LCD brightness level\n"); @@ -1747,7 +1750,8 @@ static void acpi_video_run_bcl_for_osi(struct acpi_video_bus *video) mutex_lock(&video->device_list_lock); list_for_each_entry(dev, &video->video_device_list, entry) { - if (!acpi_video_device_lcd_query_levels(dev, &levels)) + if (!acpi_video_device_lcd_query_levels(dev->dev->handle, + &levels)) kfree(levels); } mutex_unlock(&video->device_list_lock); -Aaron > [ 1.970652] Could not query available LCD brightness level > [ 1.970692] acpi_video_get_levels failed, -19 > [ 1.973516] ACPI Error: Current brightness invalid (20160422/video-368) > [ 1.973528] acpi_video_bqc_quirk failed, -22 > [ 1.973567] acpi_evaluate_BCL failed, 5 > [ 1.973597] Could not query available LCD brightness level > [ 1.973636] acpi_video_get_levels failed, -19 > [ 1.973672] acpi_evaluate_BCL failed, 5 > [ 1.973701] Could not query available LCD brightness level > [ 1.973741] acpi_video_get_levels failed, -19 > [ 1.973777] acpi_evaluate_BCL failed, 5 > [ 1.973807] Could not query available LCD brightness level > [ 1.973847] acpi_video_get_levels failed, -19 > [ 1.973882] acpi_evaluate_BCL failed, 5 > [ 1.973911] Could not query available LCD brightness level > [ 1.973951] acpi_video_get_levels failed, -19 > [ 1.973986] acpi_evaluate_BCL failed, 5 > [ 1.974439] Could not query available LCD brightness level > [ 1.974479] acpi_video_get_levels failed, -19 > [ 1.974529] acpi_evaluate_BCL failed, 5 > [ 1.974565] Could not query available LCD brightness level > [ 1.974603] acpi_video_get_levels failed, -19 > [ 1.977783] input: Video Bus as /devices/LNXSYSTM:00/LNXSYBUS:00/PNP0A08:00/device:14/LNXVIDEO:00/input/input4 > [ 1.980879] thermal LNXTHERM:00: registered as thermal_zone0 > [ 1.980884] ACPI: Thermal Zone [THM] (64 C) -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-acpi" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
