Pull ACPI video support fixes from Rafael Wysocki:
"I'm sending a separate pull request for this as it may be somewhat
controversial. The breakage addressed here is not really new and the
fixes may not satisfy all users of the affected systems, but we've had
so much back and forth dance in this area over the last several weeks
that I think it's time to actually make some progress.
The source of the problem is that about a year ago we started to tell
BIOSes that we're compatible with Windows 8, which we really need to
do, because some systems shipping with Windows 8 are tested with it
and nothing else, so if we tell their BIOSes that we aren't compatible
with Windows 8, we expose our users to untested BIOS/AML code paths.
However, as it turns out, some Windows 8-specific AML code paths are
not tested either, because Windows 8 actually doesn't use the ACPI
methods containing them, so if we declare Windows 8 compatibility and
attempt to use those ACPI methods, things break. That occurs mostly
in the backlight support area where in particular the _BCM and _BQC
methods are plain unusable on some systems if the OS declares Windows
8 compatibility.
[ The additional twist is that they actually become usable if the OS
says it is not compatible with Windows 8, but that may cause
problems to show up elsewhere ]
Investigation carried out by Matthew Garrett indicates that what
Windows 8 does about backlight is to leave backlight control up to
individual graphics drivers. At least there's evidence that it does
that if the Intel graphics driver is used, so we've decided to follow
Windows 8 in that respect and allow i915 to control backlight (Daniel
likes that part).
The first commit from Aaron Lu makes ACPICA export the variable from
which we can infer whether or not the BIOS believes that we are
compatible with Windows 8.
The second commit from Matthew Garrett prepares the ACPI video driver
by making it initialize the ACPI backlight even if it is not going to
be used afterward (that is needed for backlight control to work on
Thinkpads).
The third commit implements the actual workaround making i915 take
over backlight control if the firmware thinks it's dealing with
Windows 8 and is based on the work of multiple developers, including
Matthew Garrett, Chun-Yi Lee, Seth Forshee, and Aaron Lu.
The final commit from Aaron Lu makes us follow Windows 8 by informing
the firmware through the _DOS method that it should not carry out
automatic brightness changes, so that brightness can be controlled by
GUI.
Hopefully, this approach will allow us to avoid using blacklists of
systems that should not declare Windows 8 compatibility just to avoid
backlight control problems in the future.
- Change from Aaron Lu makes ACPICA export a variable which can be
used by driver code to determine whether or not the BIOS believes
that we are compatible with Windows 8.
- Change from Matthew Garrett makes the ACPI video driver initialize
the ACPI backlight even if it is not going to be used afterward
(that is needed for backlight control to work on Thinkpads).

Starting from win8, MS backlight control driver will set bit 2 of the
parameter of control method _DOS, to inform firmware it should not
perform any automatic brightness changes. This mostly affects hotkey
notification deliver - if we do not set this bit, on hotkey press,
firmware may choose to adjust brightness level instead of sending out
notification and doing nothing.
So this patch sets bit 2 when calling _DOS so that GUIs can show the
notification window on hotkey press. This behavior change is only
necessary for win8 systems.

According to Matthew Garrett, "Windows 8 leaves backlight control up
to individual graphics drivers rather than making ACPI calls itself.
There's plenty of evidence to suggest that the Intel driver for
Windows [8] doesn't use the ACPI interface, including the fact that
it's broken on a bunch of machines when the OS claims to support
Windows 8. The simplest thing to do appears to be to disable the
ACPI backlight interface on these systems".
There's a problem with that approach, however, because simply
avoiding to register the ACPI backlight interface if the firmware
calls _OSI for Windows 8 may not work in the following situations:
(1) The ACPI backlight interface actually works on the given system
and the i915 driver is not loaded (e.g. another graphics driver
is used).
(2) The ACPI backlight interface doesn't work on the given system,
but there is a vendor platform driver that will register its
own, equally broken, backlight interface if not prevented from
doing so by the ACPI subsystem.
Therefore we need to allow the ACPI backlight interface to be
registered until the i915 driver is loaded which then will unregister
it if the firmware has called _OSI for Windows 8 (or will register
the ACPI video driver without backlight support if not already
present).
For this reason, introduce an alternative function for registering
ACPI video, acpi_video_register_with_quirks(), that will check
whether or not the ACPI video driver has already been registered
and whether or not the backlight Windows 8 quirk has to be applied.
If the quirk has to be applied, it will block the ACPI backlight
support and either unregister the backlight interface if the ACPI
video driver has already been registered, or register the ACPI
video driver without the backlight interface otherwise. Make
the i915 driver use acpi_video_register_with_quirks() instead of
acpi_video_register() in i915_driver_load().
This change is based on earlier patches from Matthew Garrett,
Chun-Yi Lee and Seth Forshee and includes a fix from Aaron Lu's.

ACPI drivers must not be bound to device objects having scan handlers
attatched to them, so make acpi_device_probe() fail with -EINVAL if the
device object being probed has an ACPI scan handler.
After this change the analogous check introduced into the ACPI video
driver by commit 8c9b7a7 (ACPI / video: Do not bind to device objects
with a scan handler) is not necessary any more and may be dropped, so
drop it.

With the introduction of ACPI scan handlers, ACPI device objects
with an ACPI scan handler attached to them must not be bound to
by ACPI drivers any more. Unfortunately, however, the ACPI video
driver attempts to do just that if there is a _ROM ACPI control
method defined under a device object with an ACPI scan handler.
Prevent that from happening by making the video driver's "add"
routine check if the device object already has an ACPI scan handler
attached to it and return an error code in that case.
That is not sufficient, though, because acpi_bus_driver_init() would
then clear the device object's driver_data that may be set by its
scan handler, so for the fix to work acpi_bus_driver_init() has to be
modified to leave driver_data as is on errors.

acpi_video_bus_get_devices() may fail due to some video output device
doesn't have the _ADR method, and in this case, the error processing
is to simply free the video structure in acpi_video_bus_add(), while
leaving those already registered video output devices in the wild,
which means for some video output device, we have already registered
a backlight interface and installed a notification handler for it.
So it can happen when user is using this system, on hotkey pressing,
the notification handler will send a keycode through a non-existing
input device, causing kernel freeze.
To solve this problem, free all those already registered video output
devices once something goes wrong in acpi_video_bus_get_devices(), so
that no wild backlight interfaces and notification handlers exist.

Currently we decide if the _BQC is using index by first setting the
level to maximum, and then check if _BQC returned maximum; if not, we
say it is using index.
This is not true for some buggy systems, where the _BQC method will
always return a constant value(e.g. 0 or 100 for the two broken system)
and thus break the current logic. So this patch tries to enhance the
quirk detect logic for _BQC: we do this by picking a test_level, it can
be the maximum level or the mininum one based on some condition. And we
don't make the assumption that if _BQC returned a value that is not what
we just set, it must be using an index. Instead, we will compare the
value returned from _BQC and if it doesn't match, see if the returned
value is an index. And if still no, clear the capability of _BQC.

In particular, this fixes brightness control initialization for all
devices that return index values from _BQC and don't happen to have the
initial index set by the BIOS in their _BCL table. One example for that
is the Dell Inspiron 15R SE (model number 7520).
What happened for those devices is that acpi_init_brightness queried the
initial brightness by calling acpi_video_device_lcd_get_level_current.
This called _BQC, which returned e.g. 13. As _BQC_use_index isn't
determined at this point (and thus has its initial value of 0), the
index isn't converted into the actual level. As '13' isn't present in
the _BCL list, *level is later overwritten with brightness->curr, which
was initialized to max_level (100) before. Later in
acpi_init_brightness, level_old (with the value 100) is used as an index
into the _BCL table, which causes a value outside of the actual table to
be used as input into acpi_video_device_lcd_set_level(). Depending on
the (undefined) value of that location, this call will fail, causing the
brightness control for the device in question not to be enabled.
Fix that by returning the raw value returned by the _BQC call in the
initialization case.

The standard video events may be overloaded for device specific
purposes. For example AMD ACPI interface overloads
ACPI_VIDEO_NOTIFY_PROBE (0x81) to signal AMD-specific events. In such
cases we don't want to send the keypress (KEY_SWITCHVIDEOMODE) to the
userspace because the user did not press the mode switch key (the
spurious keypress confuses the DE which usually changes the
display configuration and messes up a dual-screen setup).
This patch gives the handlers the chance to examine the event and
block the keypress if the event is device specific.

Introduce module parameter video.use_bios_initial_backlight.
Some BIOSes claim they use the minimum backlight at boot,
and this may bring dimming screen after boot.
https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=21212
use video.use_bios_initl_backlight=0 to use
the maximum backlight level after boot.

cap._DDC is defined but never used.
Check this flag now and don't try to get EDID for video output devices with this flag cleared.

Remove the ACPI video output switching control as it never works.
With the patch applied,
ACPI video driver still catches the video output notification,
but it does nothing but raises the notification to userspace.

backlight_device_register has been expecting a const "ops" argument, and using
it as such, since 9905a43b2d563e6f89e4c63c4278ada03f2ebb14. Let's make the
remaining backlight_ops instances const.
Inspired by hunks of the grsecurity patch, updated for newer kernels.

Mark ACPI video driver procfs I/F deprecated, including:
/proc/acpi/video/*/info
/proc/acpi/video/*/DOS
/proc/acpi/video/*/ROM
/proc/acpi/video/*/POST
/proc/acpi/video/*/POST_info
/proc/acpi/video/*/*/info
/proc/acpi/video/*/*/state
/proc/acpi/video/*/*/EDID
and
/proc/acpi/video/*/*/brightness, because
1. we already have the sysfs I/F /sysclass/backlight/ as the replacement
of /proc/acpi/video/*/*/brightness.
2. the other procfs I/F is not useful for userspace.

kasprintf combines kmalloc and sprintf, and takes care of the size
calculation itself.
The semantic patch that makes this change is as follows:
(http://coccinelle.lip6.fr/)
// <smpl>
@@
expression a,flag;
expression list args;
statement S;
@@
a =
- \(kmalloc\|kzalloc\)(...,flag)
+ kasprintf(flag,args)
<... when != a
if (a == NULL || ...) S
...>
- sprintf(a,args);
// </smpl>

The ACPI spec includes a provision for hardware to provide EDID via the
ACPI video extension. In the KMS world it's necessary for a way to obtain
this from within the kernel. Add a function that either returns the EDID
for the provided ACPI display ID or the first display of the provided type.
Also add support for ensuring that devices with legacy IDs are supported.
