Hi All, As mentioned in my RFC titled "drm/kms: control display brightness through drm_connector properties": https://lore.kernel.org/dri-devel/0d188965-d809-81b5-74ce-7d30c49fee2d@xxxxxxxxxx/ The first step towards this is to deal with some existing technical debt in backlight handling on x86/ACPI boards, specifically we need to stop registering multiple /sys/class/backlight devs for a single display. This series implements my RFC describing my plan for these cleanups: https://lore.kernel.org/dri-devel/98519ba0-7f18-201a-ea34-652f50343158@xxxxxxxxxx/ Changes in version 4: - Minor tweaks to nvidia-wmi-ec-backlight changes - Add nouveau_acpi_* wrappers around used include/acpi/video.h functions to fix unresolved symbol errors on non X86 Changes in version 3: - ACPI_VIDEO can now be enabled on non X86 too, adjust various Kconfig changes - Make the delay before doing fallback acpi_video backlight registration a module option (patch 9) - Move the nvidia-wmi-ec-backlight fw API definitions to a shared header - Add a "acpi_video_get_backlight_type() == acpi_backlight_nvidia_wmi_ec" check to the nvidia-wmi-ec-backlight driver (patch 19) Changes in version 2: - Introduce acpi_video_backlight_use_native() helper - Finishes the refactoring, addressing all the bits from the "Other issues" section of the refactor RFC Note the i915 patches (patch 2 and 12 still need a review/ack, and I've dropped the previouw review of the nouveau patches because of changes there. Please review. This series as submitted is based on drm-tip for CI purposes. I also have an immutable branch based on 6.0-rc1 with these same patches available here: https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/pdx86/platform-drivers-x86.git/log/?h=backlight-detect-refactor-v4 assuming the i915 patches also pass review I hope to send out a pull-request to all involved subsystems based on this branch soon.
