Subject: ACPI: video: Force backlight native for some TongFang devices
From: Werner Sembach <wse@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>
commit c752089f7cf5b5800c6ace4cdd1a8351ee78a598 upstream.
The TongFang PF5PU1G, PF4NU1F, PF5NU1G, and PF5LUXG/TUXEDO BA15 Gen10,
Pulse 14/15 Gen1, and Pulse 15 Gen2 have the same problem as the Clevo
NL5xRU and NL5xNU/TUXEDO Aura 15 Gen1 and Gen2:
They have a working native and video interface. However the default
detection mechanism first registers the video interface before
unregistering it again and switching to the native interface during boot.
This results in a dangling SBIOS request for backlight change for some
reason, causing the backlight to switch to ~2% once per boot on the first
power cord connect or disconnect event. Setting the native interface
explicitly circumvents this buggy behaviour by avoiding the unregistering
process.
