2013-07-18ACPI / video / i915: No ACPI backlight if firmware expects Windows 8Rafael J. Wysocki
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.

2011-07-13i915: Fix opregion notificationsMatthew Garrett
opregion-based platforms will send ACPI video event 0x80 for a range of notification types for legacy compatibility. This is interpreted as a display switch event, which may not be appropriate in the circumstances. When we receive such an event we should make sure that the platform is genuinely requesting a display switch before passing that event through to userspace.

2010-04-19ACPI: Export EDID blocks to the kernelMatthew Garrett
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.

2009-06-24ACPI: Add the reference count to avoid unloading ACPI video bus twiceZhao Yakui
Sometimes both acpi video and i915 driver are compiled as modules. And there exists the strict dependency between the two drivers. The acpi video bus will be unloaded in course of unloading the i915 driver. If we unload the acpi video driver, then the kernel oops will be triggered. Add the reference count to avoid unloading the ACPI video bus twice. The reference count should be checked before unregistering the acpi video bus. If the reference count is already zero, it won't unregister it again. And after the acpi video bus is already unregistered, the reference count will be set to zero. http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=13396 Signed-off-by: Zhao Yakui <yakui.zhao@intel.com> Acked-by: Zhang Rui <rui.zhang@intel.com> Signed-off-by: Len Brown <len.brown@intel.com>

2009-03-28ACPI: Populate DIDL before registering ACPI video device on IntelMatthew Garrett
Intel graphics hardware that implements the ACPI IGD OpRegion spec requires that the list of display devices be populated before any ACPI video methods are called. Detect when this is the case and defer registration until the opregion code calls it.
