On machins without an i915 opregion the acpi_video driver immediately probes the ACPI video bus and used to also immediately register acpi_video# backlight devices when supported. Once the drm/kms driver then loaded later and possibly registered a native backlight device then the drivers/acpi/video_detect.c code unregistered the acpi_video0 device to avoid there being 2 backlight devices (when acpi_video_get_backlight_type()==native). This means that userspace used to briefly see 2 devices and the disappearing of acpi_video0 after a brief time confuses the systemd backlight level save/restore code, see e.g.: https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=269920 To fix this the ACPI video code has been modified to make backlight class device registration a separate step, relying on the drm/kms driver to ask for the acpi_video backlight registration after it is done setting up its native backlight device. Add a call to the new acpi_video_register_backlight() after the i915 calls acpi_video_register() (after setting up the i915 opregion) so that the acpi_video backlight devices get registered on systems where the i915 native backlight device is not registered. Changes in v2: -Only call acpi_video_register_backlight() when a panel is detected Changes in v3: -Add a new intel_acpi_video_register() helper which checks if a panel is present and then calls acpi_video_register_backlight() Reviewed-by: Jani Nikula <jani.nikula@intel.com> Signed-off-by: Hans de Goede <hdegoede@redhat.com>
Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
