This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled ACPI: video: Change how we determine if brightness key-presses are handled to the 5.15-stable tree which can be found at: http://www.kernel.org/git/?p=linux/kernel/git/stable/stable-queue.git;a=summary The filename of the patch is: acpi-video-change-how-we-determine-if-brightness-key-presses-are-handled.patch and it can be found in the queue-5.15 subdirectory. If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> know about it. >From 3a0cf7ab8df3878a7e2f3d29275b785cf4e7afb6 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Hans de Goede <hdegoede@xxxxxxxxxx> Date: Fri, 24 Jun 2022 13:23:34 +0200 Subject: ACPI: video: Change how we determine if brightness key-presses are handled From: Hans de Goede <hdegoede@xxxxxxxxxx> commit 3a0cf7ab8df3878a7e2f3d29275b785cf4e7afb6 upstream. Some systems have an ACPI video bus but not ACPI video devices with backlight capability. On these devices brightness key-presses are (logically) not reported through the ACPI video bus. Change how acpi_video_handles_brightness_key_presses() determines if brightness key-presses are handled by the ACPI video driver to avoid vendor specific drivers/platform/x86 drivers filtering out their brightness key-presses even though they are the only ones reporting these presses.
