This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled ACPI: video: Fix Apple GMUX backlight detection 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-fix-apple-gmux-backlight-detection.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 39dffa157c4c787e8bf8919cb8bb0b056e21a5dd Author: Hans de Goede <hdegoede@xxxxxxxxxx> Date: Thu Dec 15 10:41:38 2022 +0100 ACPI: video: Fix Apple GMUX backlight detection [ Upstream commit 3cf3b7f012f3ea8bdc56196e367cf07c10424855 ] The apple-gmux driver only binds to old GMUX devices which have an IORESOURCE_IO resource (using inb()/outb()) rather then memory-mapped IO (IORESOURCE_MEM). T2 MacBooks use the new style GMUX devices (with IORESOURCE_MEM access), so these are not supported by the apple-gmux driver. This is not a problem since they have working ACPI video backlight support. But the apple_gmux_present() helper only checks if an ACPI device with the "APP000B" HID is present, causing acpi_video_get_backlight_type() to return acpi_backlight_apple_gmux disabling the acpi_video backlight device. Add a new apple_gmux_backlight_present() helper which checks that the "APP000B" device actually is an old GMUX device with an IORESOURCE_IO resource. This fixes the acpi_video0 backlight no longer registering on T2 MacBooks. Note people are working to add support for the new style GMUX to Linux: https://github.com/kekrby/linux-t2/commits/wip/hybrid-graphics Once this lands this patch should be reverted so that acpi_video_get_backlight_type() also prefers the gmux on new style GMUX MacBooks, but for now this is necessary to avoid regressing backlight control on T2 Macs.
