      samsung-laptop: Port to new backlight interface selection API · 6c072299
      由 Hans de Goede 提交于 
      Port the backlight selection logic to the new backlight interface
selection API.

This commit also removes various obsolete pr_xxx messages related to
backlight interface selection. These are obsolete because they assume
there is only a vendor or acpi backlight driver and no other choice.
Also they are not necessary, if the user wants to know which backlight
interfaces are registered a simple "ls /sys/class/backlight" suffices.

      samsung-laptop: Use acpi_video_unregister_backlight instead of acpi_video_unregister · acf5493c
      由 Hans de Goede 提交于 
      acpi_video_unregister() not only unregisters the acpi-video backlight
interface but also unregisters the acpi video bus event listener, causing
e.g. brightness hotkey presses to no longer generate keypress events.

The unregistering of the acpi video bus event listener usually is
undesirable, which by itself is a good reason to switch to
acpi_video_unregister_backlight().

Another problem with using acpi_video_unregister() rather then using
acpi_video_unregister_backlight() is that on systems with an intel video
opregion (most systems) and a broken_acpi_video quirk, whether or not
the acpi video bus event listener actually gets unregistered depends on
module load ordering:

Scenario a:
1) acpi/video.ko gets loaded (*), does not do acpi_video_register as there
   is an intel opregion.
2) intel.ko gets loaded, calls acpi_video_register() which registers both
   the listener and the acpi backlight interface
3) samsung-laptop.ko gets loaded, calls acpi_video_unregister() causing
   both the listener and the acpi backlight interface to unregister

Scenario b:
1) acpi/video.ko gets loaded (*), does not do acpi_video_register as there
   is an intel opregion.
2) samsung-laptop.ko gets loaded, calls acpi_video_dmi_promote_vendor(),
   calls acpi_video_unregister(), which is a nop since acpi_video_register
   has not yet been called
2) intel.ko gets loaded, calls acpi_video_register() which registers
   the listener, but does not register the acpi backlight interface due to
   the call to the preciding call to acpi_video_dmi_promote_vendor()

*) acpi/video.ko always loads first as both other modules depend on it.

So we end up with or without an acpi video bus event listener depending
on module load ordering, not good.

Switching to using acpi_video_unregister_backlight() means that independ
of ordering we will always have an acpi video bus event listener fixing
this.

Note that this commit means that systems without an intel video opregion,
and systems which were hitting scenario a wrt module load ordering, are
now getting an acpi video bus event listener while before they were not!

On some systems this may cause the brightness hotkeys to start generating
keypresses while before they were not (good), while on other systems this
may cause the brightness hotkeys to generate multiple keypress events for
a single press (not so good). Since on most systems the acpi video bus is
the canonical source for brightness events I believe that the latter case
will needs to be handled on a case by case basis by filtering out the
duplicate keypresses at the other source for them.

      samsung-laptop: Add use_native_backlight quirk, and enable it on some models · 4690555e
      由 Hans de Goede 提交于 
      Since kernel 3.14 the backlight control has been broken on various Samsung
Atom based netbooks. This has been bisected and this problem happens since
commit b35684b8 ("drm/i915: do full backlight setup at enable time")

This has been reported and discussed in detail here:
http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/intel-gfx/2014-July/049395.html

Unfortunately no-one has been able to fix this. This only affects Samsung
Atom netbooks, and the Linux kernel and the BIOS of those laptops have never
worked well together. All affected laptops already have a quirk to avoid using
the standard acpi-video interface and instead use the samsung specific SABI
interface which samsung-laptop uses. It seems that recent fixes to the i915
driver have also broken backlight control through the SABI interface.

The intel_backlight driver OTOH works fine, and also allows for finer grained
backlight control. So add a new use_native_backlight quirk, and replace the
broken_acpi_video quirk with this quirk for affected models. This new quirk
disables acpi-video as before and also stops samsung-laptop from registering
the SABI based samsung_laptop backlight interface, leaving only the working
intel_backlight interface.

This commit enables this new quirk for 3 models which are known to be affected,
chances are that it needs to be used on other models too.
