This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled ACPI: video: Change Sony Vaio VPCEH3U1E quirk to force_native to the 6.1-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-sony-vaio-vpceh3u1e-quirk-to-force.patch and it can be found in the queue-6.1 subdirectory. If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> know about it. commit 3c6d0b42d074656272094cccfcddb26604685f8a Author: Hans de Goede <hdegoede@xxxxxxxxxx> Date: Mon Nov 14 15:44:55 2022 +0100 ACPI: video: Change Sony Vaio VPCEH3U1E quirk to force_native [ Upstream commit 84d56f326a8ef0071df8c0c3b983b9e2c3b73006 ] According to: https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=202401 the Sony Vaio VPCEH3U1E quirk was added to disable the acpi_video0 backlight interface because that was not working, so that userspace will pick the actually working native nv_backlight interface instead. With the new kernel behavior of hiding native interfaces unless acpi_video_get_backlight_type() returns native, the current video_detect_force_vendor quirk will cause the working nv_backlight interface will be disabled too. Change the quirk to video_detect_force_native to get the desired result of only registering the nv_backlight interface. After this all currently remaining force_vendor quirks in video_detect_dmi_table[] are there to prefer a vendor interface over a non working ACPI video interface, add a comment to document this.
