video / backlight: remove the backlight_device_registered API

2016-05-04T21:41:14Z

Since we will need the backlight_device_get_by_type API, we can use it instead of the backlight_device_registered API whenever necessary so remove the backlight_device_registered API. Signed-off-by: Aaron Lu Acked-by: Jingoo Han Signed-off-by: Rafael J. Wysocki

ACPI: Revert "ACPI / video: Add Dell Inspiron 5737 to the blacklist"

2016-01-23T02:04:59Z

The quirk to get "acpi_backlight=vendor" behavior by default on the Dell Inspiron 5737 was added before we started doing "acpi_backlight=native" by default on Win8 ready machines. Since we now avoid using acpi-video as backlight driver on these machines by default (using the native driver instead) we no longer need this quirk. Moreover the vendor driver does not work after a suspend/resume where as the native driver does. This reverts commit 08a56226d847 (ACPI / video: Add Dell Inspiron 5737 to the blacklist).

ACPI / video: Add a quirk to force acpi-video backlight on SAMSUNG 530U4E/540U4E

2016-01-01T02:14:57Z

The native interface on SAMSUNG 530U4E/540U4E doesn't work even though the firmware claims Win8 compatible while the acpi_video interface works, add a quirk for this.

ACPI / video: Add quirks for the Dell Vostro V131

2016-01-01T02:14:51Z

The Dell Vostro V131 has an especially broken acpi-video implementation. The backlight control bits work, but when the brightness is changed via the acpi-video interface the backlight flickers annoyingly before settling at the new brightness, switching to using the native interface fixes the flickering so add a quirk for this (the vendor interface has the same problem). Brightness keypresses reported through the acpi-video-bus are also broken, they get reported one event delayed, so if you press the brightness-up hotkey on the keyboard nothing happens, then if you press brightness-down, the previous brightness-up event gets reported. Since the keypresses are also reported via wmi (if active) and via atkbd (when wmi is not active) add a quirk to simply filter out the delayed (broken) events.

ACPI / video: Add a quirk to force acpi-video backlight on Dell XPS L421X

2015-11-02T00:36:31Z

Just like the Dell XPS 15 (L521X) the Dell XPS 14 (L421X) needs to use the acpi-video backlight interface rather then the native one for backlight control to work, add a quirk for this.

ACPI / video: Add a quirk to force native backlight on Lenovo IdeaPad S405

2015-10-26T03:49:06Z

The Lenovo IdeaPad S405 is a not "Windows8 ready" machine which still has a broken ACPI video backlight implementation. Add a quirk to force use of native backlight on this machine.

ACPI / video: Fix circular lock dependency issue in the video-detect code

2015-08-14T09:20:20Z

Before this commit, the following would happen: a) acpi_video_get_backlight_type() gets called b) acpi_video_get_backlight_type() calls acpi_video_init_backlight_type() c) acpi_video_init_backlight_type() locks its function static init_mutex d) acpi_video_init_backlight_type() calls backlight_register_notifier() e) backlight_register_notifier() takes its notifier-chain lock And when the backlight notifier chain gets called we've: 1) blocking_notifier_call_chain() gets called 2) blocking_notifier_call_chain() takes the notifier-chain lock 3) blocking_notifier_call_chain() calls acpi_video_backlight_notify() 4) acpi_video_backlight_notify() calls acpi_video_get_backlight_type() 5) acpi_video_get_backlight_type() calls acpi_video_init_backlight_type() 6) acpi_video_init_backlight_type() locks its function static init_mutex So in the first call sequence we have: a) init_mutex gets locked b) notifier-chain gets locked and in the second call sequence we have: 1) notifier-chain gets locked 2) init_mutex gets locked And we've a circular locking dependency. This specific locking dependency is fixable without using the big hammer otherwise known as a workqueue, but further analysis shows a similar problem with the backlight notifier chain lock vs register_count_mutex from drivers/acpi/acpi_video.c, and fixing that becomes problematic. So this commit simply fixes this with the big hammer, performance wise this is a non issue as we expect the work to get scheduled exactly zero or one times during normal system use.

ACPI / video: Move backlight notifier to video_detect.c

2015-06-18T23:11:04Z

Move the unregistering of the acpi backlight interface on registering of a native backlight from video.c to video_detect.c where it belongs. Note this removes support for re-registering the acpi backlight interface when the native interface goes away. In practice this never happens and it needlessly complicates the code.
