Several cherrytrail devices (all of which ship with windows 10) hide

Where OSID is some dark magic seen in all cherrytrail ACPI tables
making
the machine behave differently depending on which OS it *thinks* it is
booting, this gets set in a number of ways which we cannot control, on
some newer machines it simple hardcoded to "One" aka win10.
This causes the PWM controller to get hidden, which means Linux cannot
control the backlight level on cht based tablets / laptops.
Since loading the driver for this does no harm (the only in kernel user
of it is the i915 driver, which will only use it when it needs it),
this
commit makes acpi_bus_get_status() always set status to
ACPI_STA_DEFAULT
for the 80862288 device, fixing the lack of backlight control.

This shouldn't be done in a "get" routine.
With this you mean the acpi_match_device_ids() check I assume ?
(acpi_bus_get_status already calls acpi_set_device_status())
Yes, the device ID check.
Ideally, a scan handler should do that or similar.
The problem is that drivers/acpi/scan.c: acpi_bus_attach()
calls acpi_bus_get_status() and if it does not set
the status to present acpi_bus_attach() exits without bothering
with attaching scan handlers, which is why I ended up doing this
here.
Fair enough.
Two problems with this approach.
One is that it doesn't prevent _STA from being evaluated as
acpi_bus_get_status_handle() is called directly from a couple of
places.
Yes I noticed that, but that is not a problem for this
(and I would assume most) devices. Intervening directly
in acpi_bus_get_status_handle is harder as there is no
access to the hid there.
But if you modify acpi_set_device_status(), that should make it
consistent AFAICS.
And this is just a quirk for devices where _STA is known to return
garbage sometimes and I'd call it a quirk openly.
Ok, currently acpi_set_device_status() is an inline function in
include/acpi/acpi_bus.h. If I understand you correctly you want me
to uninline it and have a table with quirks which specify an override
value to apply for certain acpi_ids in the uninlined version, correct ?
Or is there some existing quirk mechanism I should tie into ?

Hans
