There have been 2 separate reports now about a non working
"dell_backlight" device getting registered under /sys/class/backlight
1 report for a Raptor Lake based Dell and 1 report for a Meteor Lake
(development) platform.
On hw from the last 10 years dell-laptop will not register "dell_backlight"
because acpi_video_get_backlight_type() will return acpi_backlight_video
there if called before the GPU/kms driver loads. So it does not matter if
the GPU driver's native backlight is registered after dell-laptop loads.
But it seems that on the latest generation laptops the ACPI tables
no longer contain acpi_video backlight control support which causes
acpi_video_get_backlight_type() to return acpi_backlight_vendor causing
"dell_backlight" to get registered if the dell-laptop module is loaded
before the GPU/kms driver.
Vendor specific backlight control like the "dell_backlight" device is
only necessary on quite old hw (from before acpi_video backlight control
was introduced). Work around "dell_backlight" registering on very new
hw (where acpi_video backlight control seems to be no more) by making
acpi_video_get_backlight_type() return acpi_backlight_none instead
of acpi_backlight_vendor as final fallback when the ACPI tables have
support for Windows 8 or later (laptops from after ~2012).

Remove the acpi_backlight=video quirk for Lenovo ThinkPad W530.
This was intended to help users of the (unsupported) Nvidia binary driver,
but this has been reported to cause backlight control issues for users
who have the gfx configured in hybrid (dual-GPU) mode, so drop this.
The Nvidia binary driver should call acpi_video_register_backlight()
when necessary and this has been reported to Nvidia.
Until this is fixed Nvidia binary driver users can work around this by
passing "acpi_backlight=video" on the kernel commandline (with the latest
6.1.y or newer stable series, kernels < 6.1.y don't need this).

The Lenovo ThinkPad W530 uses a nvidia k1000m GPU. When this gets used
together with one of the older nvidia binary driver series (the latest
series does not support it), then backlight control does not work.
This is caused by commit 3dbc80a3e4 ("ACPI: video: Make backlight
class device registration a separate step (v2)") combined with
commit 5aa9d943e9 ("ACPI: video: Don't enable fallback path for
creating ACPI backlight by default").
After these changes the acpi_video# backlight device is only registered
when requested by a GPU driver calling acpi_video_register_backlight()
which the nvidia binary driver does not do.
I realize that using the nvidia binary driver is not a supported use-case
and users can workaround this by adding acpi_backlight=video on the kernel
commandline, but the ThinkPad W530 is a popular model under Linux users,
so it seems worthwhile to add a quirk for this.
I will also email Nvidia asking them to make the driver call
acpi_video_register_backlight() when an internal LCD panel is detected.
So maybe the next maintenance release of the drivers will fix this...

On the Apple iMac14,1 and iMac14,2 all-in-ones (monitors with builtin "PC")
the connection between the GPU and the panel is seen by the GPU driver as
regular DP instead of eDP, causing the GPU driver to never call
acpi_video_register_backlight().
(GPU drivers only call acpi_video_register_backlight() when an internal
panel is detected, to avoid non working acpi_video# devices getting
registered on desktops which unfortunately is a real issue.)
Fix the missing acpi_video# backlight device on these all-in-ones by
adding a acpi_backlight=video DMI quirk, so that video.ko will
immediately register the backlight device instead of waiting for
an acpi_video_register_backlight() call.

The Asus U46E backlight tables have a set of interesting problems:
1. Its ACPI tables do make _OSI ("Windows 2012") checks, so
acpi_osi_is_win8() should return true.
But the tables have 2 sets of _OSI calls, one from the usual global
_INI method setting a global OSYS variable and a second set of _OSI
calls from a MSOS method and the MSOS method is the only one calling
_OSI ("Windows 2012").
The MSOS method only gets called in the following cases:
1. From some Asus specific WMI methods
2. From _DOD, which only runs after acpi_video_get_backlight_type()
has already been called by the i915 driver
3. From other ACPI video bus methods which never run (see below)
4. From some EC query callbacks
So when i915 calls acpi_video_get_backlight_type() MSOS has never run
and acpi_osi_is_win8() returns false, so acpi_video_get_backlight_type()
returns acpi_video as the desired backlight type, which causes
the intel_backlight device to not register.
2. _DOD effectively does this:
Return (Package (0x01)
{
0x0400
})
causing acpi_video_device_in_dod() to return false, which causes
the acpi_video backlight device to not register.
Leaving the user with no backlight device at all. Note that before 6.1.y
the i915 driver would register the intel_backlight device unconditionally
and since that then was the only backlight device userspace would use that.
Add a backlight=native DMI quirk for this special laptop to restore
the old (and working) behavior of the intel_backlight device registering.

The apple-gmux driver only binds to old GMUX devices which have an

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

Add a new apple_gmux_backlight_present() helper which checks that

The GIGABYTE GB-BXBT-2807 DMI quirk was added by
commit 25417185e9 ("ACPI: video: Add DMI quirk for GIGABYTE

"The GIGABYTE GB-BXBT-2807 is a mini-PC which uses off the shelf
components, like an Intel GPU which is meant for mobile systems.
As such, it, by default, has a backlight controller exposed.
Unfortunately, the backlight controller only confuses userspace, which
sees the existence of a backlight device node and has the unrealistic
belief that there is actually a backlight there!
Add a DMI quirk to force the backlight off on this system."
So in essence this quirk was using a video_detect_force_vendor quirk
to disable backlight control. Now a days we have a specific "none"
backlight type for this. Change the quirk to video_detect_force_none
and group it together with the other force_none quirks.

Changes in v2:
- Add a comment that this needs to be revisited when dynamic-mux
support gets added (suggested by: Daniel Dadap)
Testing has shown that there are quite a few laptop models which rely
on native backlight control and which do not support ACPI video bus
backlight control, causing __acpi_video_get_backlight_type() to return
vendor. Known Windows laptop models affected by this are:
Acer Aspire 1640
HP Compaq nc6120
IBM ThinkPad X40
System76 Starling Star1
and the following MacBook models are affected too:
Apple MacBook 2.1
Apple MacBook 4.1
Apple MacBook Pro 7.1
the list of affected Windows laptop models is likely just the top of
the iceberg. So for now lets undo the change to not register native
backlight class devices when __acpi_video_get_backlight_type() != native.
Since as part of the backlight-detect refactor the detection code now
relies on the GPU drivers calling acpi_video_backlight_use_native() to
learn that native backlight support is available we cannot just remove
the acpi_video_backlight_use_native() calls from the GPU drivers.
Instead modify acpi_video_backlight_use_native() to always return true
for now. This is meant as a temporary work-around, which will be removed
again when the heuristics from __acpi_video_get_backlight_type() have
been improved so that they will return native on affected models.

Some Toshibas have a broken acpi-video interface for brightness control
and need a special firmware call on resume to turn the panel back on.
So far these have been using the disable_backlight_sysfs_if workaround
to deal with this.
The recent x86/acpi backlight refactoring has broken this workaround:
1. This workaround relies on acpi_video_get_backlight_type() returning
acpi_video so that the acpi_video code actually runs; and
2. this relies on the actual native GPU driver to offer the sysfs
backlight interface to userspace.
After the refactor this breaks since the native driver will no
longer register its backlight-device if acpi_video_get_backlight_type()
does not return native and making it return native breaks 1.
Keeping the acpi_video backlight handling on resume active, while not
using it to set the brightness, is necessary because it does a _BCM
call on resume which is necessary to turn the panel back on on resume.
Looking at the DSDT shows that this _BCM call results in a Toshiba
HCI_SET HCI_LCD_BRIGHTNESS call, which turns the panel back on.
This kind of special vendor specific handling really belongs in
the vendor specific acpi driver. An earlier patch in this series
modifies toshiba_acpi to make the necessary HCI_SET call on resume
on affected models.
With toshiba_acpi taking care of the HCI_SET call on resume,
the acpi_video code no longer needs to call _BCM on resume.
So instead of using the (now broken) disable_backlight_sysfs_if
workaround, simply setting acpi_backlight=native to disable
the broken apci-video interface is sufficient fix things now.
After this there are no more users of the disable_backlight_sysfs_if
flag and as discussed above the flag also no longer works as intended,
so remove the disable_backlight_sysfs_if flag entirely.

acpi_video_set_dmi_backlight_type() is troublesome because it may end
up getting called after other backlight drivers have already called
acpi_video_get_backlight_type() resulting in the other drivers
already being registered even though they should not.
In case of the acpi_video backlight, acpi_video_set_dmi_backlight_type()
actually calls acpi_video_unregister_backlight() since that is often
probed earlier, leading to userspace seeing the acpi_video0 class
device being briefly available, leading to races in userspace where
udev probe-rules try to access the device and it is already gone.
All callers have been fixed to no longer call it, so remove
acpi_video_set_dmi_backlight_type() now.
This means we now also no longer need acpi_video_unregister_backlight()
for the remove acpi_video backlight after it was wrongly registered hack,
so remove that too.

acpi_video_set_dmi_backlight_type() is troublesome because it may end up
getting called after other backlight drivers have already called
acpi_video_get_backlight_type() resulting in the other drivers
already being registered even though they should not.
Move all the acpi_backlight=[vendor|native] quirks from samsung-laptop to
drivers/acpi/video_detect.c .
Note the X360 -> acpi_backlight=native quirk is not moved because that
already was present in drivers/acpi/video_detect.c .

Note no entries are dropped from the dmi_system_id table in asus-nb-wmi.c.
This is because the entries using the removed wmi_backlight_power flag

So the quirk_asus_x55u struct and the entries pointing to it cannot be

Move the backlight DMI quirks to acpi/video_detect.c, so that
the driver no longer needs to call acpi_video_set_dmi_backlight_type().
acpi_video_set_dmi_backlight_type() is troublesome because it may end up
getting called after other backlight drivers have already called
acpi_video_get_backlight_type() resulting in the other drivers
already being registered even though they should not.
Note that even though the DMI quirk table name was video_vendor_dmi_table,
5/6 quirks were actually quirks to use the GPU native backlight.
These 5 quirks also had a callback in their dmi_system_id entry which
disabled the acer-wmi vendor driver; and any DMI match resulted in:
acpi_video_set_dmi_backlight_type(acpi_backlight_vendor);
which disabled the acpi_video driver, so only the native driver was left.
The new entries for these 5/6 devices correctly marks these as needing
the native backlight driver.
Also note that other changes in this series change the native backlight
drivers to no longer unconditionally register their backlight. Instead
these drivers now do this check:
if (acpi_video_get_backlight_type(false) != acpi_backlight_native)
return 0; /* bail */
which without this patch would have broken these 5/6 "special" quirks.
Since I had to look at all the commits adding the quirks anyways, to make
sure that I understood the code correctly, I've also added links to
the various original bugzillas for these quirks to the new entries.

getting called after other backlight drivers have already called

In case of the acpi_video backlight, acpi_video_set_dmi_backlight_type()
actually calls acpi_video_unregister_backlight() since that is often
probed earlier, leading to userspace seeing the acpi_video0 class
device being briefly available, leading to races in userspace where
udev probe-rules try to access the device and it is already gone.
In case of toshiba_acpi there are no DMI quirks to move to
acpi/video_detect.c, but it also (ab)uses it for transflective
displays. Adding transflective display support to video_detect.c would
be quite involved. But luckily there are only 2 known models with
a transflective display, so we can just add DMI quirks for those.

On Apple laptops with an Apple GMUX using this for brightness control,

Add apple-gmux detection to acpi_video_get_backlight_type() using
the already existing apple_gmux_present() helper function.
This will allow removig the (ab)use of:

On some new laptop designs a new Nvidia specific WMI interface is present
which gives info about panel brightness control and may allow controlling
the brightness through this interface when the embedded controller is used
for brightness control.
When this WMI interface is present and indicates that the EC is used,
then this interface should be used for brightness control.
Changes in v2:
- Use the new shared nvidia-wmi-ec-backlight.h header for the
WMI firmware API definitions
- ACPI_VIDEO can now be enabled on non X86 too,
adjust the Kconfig changes to match this.
Changes in v3:
- Use WMI_BRIGHTNESS_GUID define

Remove the code to unregister acpi_video backlight devices when
a native backlight device gets registered later.
Now that the acpi_video backlight device registration is a separate step
which runs later, after the drm/kms driver is done setting up its own
native backlight device, it is no longer necessary to monitor for a
native (BACKLIGHT_RAW) device showing up later and to then unregister
the acpi_video backlight device(s).

All x86/ACPI kms drivers which register native/BACKLIGHT_RAW type
backlight devices call acpi_video_backlight_use_native() now. This sets
__acpi_video_get_backlight_type()'s internal static native_available flag.
This makes the backlight_device_get_by_type(BACKLIGHT_RAW) check
unnecessary.
Relying on the cached native_available value not only is simpler, it will
also work correctly in cases where then native backlight registration was
skipped because of acpi_video_backlight_use_native() returning false.

ATM on x86 laptops where we want userspace to use the acpi_video backlight
device we often register both the GPU's native backlight device and
acpi_video's firmware acpi_video# backlight device. This relies on
userspace preferring firmware type backlight devices over native ones, but
registering 2 backlight devices for a single display really is undesirable.
On x86 laptops where the native GPU backlight device should be used,
the registering of other backlight devices is avoided by their drivers
using acpi_video_get_backlight_type() and only registering their backlight
if the return value matches their type.
acpi_video_get_backlight_type() uses
backlight_device_get_by_type(BACKLIGHT_RAW) to determine if a native
driver is available and will never return native if this returns
false. This means that the GPU's native backlight registering code
cannot just call acpi_video_get_backlight_type() to determine if it
should register its backlight, since acpi_video_get_backlight_type() will
never return native until the native backlight has already registered.
To fix this add a new internal native function parameter to
acpi_video_get_backlight_type(), which when set to true will make
acpi_video_get_backlight_type() behave as if a native backlight has
already been registered.
And add a new acpi_video_backlight_use_native() helper, which sets this
to true, for use in native GPU backlight code.
Changes in v2:
- Replace adding a native parameter to acpi_video_get_backlight_type() with
adding a new acpi_video_backlight_use_native() helper.

The Dell Inspiron N4010 does not have ACPI backlight control,
so acpi_video_get_backlight_type()'s heuristics return vendor as
the type to use.
But the vendor interface is broken, where as the native (intel_backlight)
works well, add a quirk to use native.

Taking a recent change in the i8042 quirklist to this one: Clevo
board_names are somewhat unique, and if not: The generic Board_-/Sys_Vendor
string "Notebook" doesn't help much anyway. So identifying the devices just
by the board_name helps keeping the list significantly shorter and might
even hit more devices requiring the fix.

The TongFang PF5PU1G, PF4NU1F, PF5NU1G, and PF5LUXG/TUXEDO BA15 Gen10,
Pulse 14/15 Gen1, and Pulse 15 Gen2 have the same problem as the Clevo
NL5xRU and NL5xNU/TUXEDO Aura 15 Gen1 and Gen2:
They have a working native and video interface. However the default
detection mechanism first registers the video interface before
unregistering it again and switching to the native interface during boot.
This results in a dangling SBIOS request for backlight change for some
reason, causing the backlight to switch to ~2% once per boot on the first
power cord connect or disconnect event. Setting the native interface
explicitly circumvents this buggy behaviour by avoiding the unregistering
process.
