[PATCH 0/4] Add acpi_video_unregister_backlight(), use in acer-wmi

[PATCH 0/4] Add acpi_video_unregister_backlight(), use in acer-wmi

[Hans de Goede]

Hi All,

Here is a non RFC version of my patch series to fix:

https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=35622
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1012674

I think its best if the entire series goes upstream through the acpi
tree since the platform/x86 patches depend on the acpi changes.

Regards,

Hans

[PATCH 1/4] acpi-video: Don't register acpi_video_resume notifier without backlight devices

[Hans de Goede]

If we're not going to be registering any backlight devices then
acpi_video_resume is always nop, so don't register it in that case.

Note to reviewers the changes to acpi_video_dev_register_backlight() only
remove the "if (!acpi_video_verify_backlight_support()) {" which surrounded
the entire body of the function, as that is checked earlier now.

[PATCH 2/4] acpi-video: Add an acpi_video_unregister_backlight function

[Hans de Goede]

Add an acpi_video_unregister_backlight function, which only unregisters
the backlight device, and leaves the acpi_notifier in place. Some acpi_vendor
driver need this as they don't want the acpi_video# backlight device, but do
need the acpi-video driver for hotkey handling.

Chances are that this new acpi_video_unregister_backlight() is actually
what existing acpi_vendor drivers have wanted all along. Currently acpi_vendor
drivers which want to disable the acpi_video# backlight device, make 2 calls:

acpi_video_dmi_promote_vendor();
acpi_video_unregister();

The intention here is to make things independent of when acpi_video_register()
gets called. As acpi_video_register() will get called on acpi-video load time
on non intel gfx machines, while it gets called on i915 load time on intel
gfx machines.

This leads to the following 2 interesting scenarios:

a) intel gfx:
1) acpi-video module gets loaded (as it is a dependency of acpi_vendor and i915)
2) acpi-video does NOT call acpi_video_register()
3) acpi_vendor loads (lets assume it loads before i915), calls
acpi_video_dmi_promote_vendor(); which sets ACPI_VIDEO_BACKLIGHT_DMI_VENDOR
4) calls acpi_video_unregister -> not registered, nop
5) i915 loads, calls acpi_video_register
6) acpi_video_register registers the acpi_notifier for the hotkeys,
   does NOT register a backlight device because of ACPI_VIDEO_BACKLIGHT_DMI_VENDOR

b) non intel gfx
1) acpi-video module gets loaded (as it is a dependency acpi_vendor)
2) acpi-video calls acpi_video_register()
3) acpi_video_register registers the acpi_notifier for the hotkeys,
   and a backlight device
4) acpi_vendor loads, calls acpi_video_dmi_promote_vendor()
5) calls acpi_video_unregister, this unregisters BOTH the acpi_notifier for
   the hotkeys AND the backlight device

So here we have possibly the same acpi_vendor module, making the same calls,
but with different results, in one cases acpi-video does handle hotkeys,
in the other it does not.

Note that the a) scenario turns into b) if we assume the i915 module loads
before the vendor_acpi module, so we also have different behavior depending
on module loading order!

So as said I believe that quite a few existing acpi_vendor modules really
always want the behavior of a), hence this patch adds a new
acpi_video_unregister_backlight() which gives the behavior of a) independent
of module loading order.

[PATCH 3/4] acer-wmi: Switch to acpi_video_unregister_backlight

[Hans de Goede]

Switch from acpi_video_unregister(), to acpi_video_unregister_backlight(),
so that the hotkeys handler registered by acpi-video stays in place.

Since there are no mappings for the atkbd raw codes for the brightness
keys used by newer Acer models in /lib/udev/hwdb.d/60-keyboard.hwdb, and
since we map the wmi events with a code of KE_IGNORE, we rely on acpi-video
to do the hotkey handling for us.

For laptops such as the Acer Aspire 5750 which uses intel gfx this works
despite us calling acpi_video_unregister() because the following happens:

1) acpi-video module gets loaded (as it is a dependency of acer-wmi and i915)
2) acpi-video does NOT call acpi_video_register()
3) acer-wmi loads (assume it loads before i915), calls
acpi_video_dmi_promote_vendor(); which sets ACPI_VIDEO_BACKLIGHT_DMI_VENDOR
4) calls acpi_video_unregister -> not registered, nop
5) i915 loads, calls acpi_video_register
6) acpi_video_register registers the acpi_notifier for the hotkeys,
   does NOT register a backlight device because of ACPI_VIDEO_BACKLIGHT_DMI_VENDOR

But on the Acer Aspire 5750G, which uses nvidia graphics the following happens:
1) acpi-video module gets loaded (as it is a dependency of acer-wmi)
2) acpi-video calls acpi_video_register()
3) acpi_video_register registers the acpi_notifier for the hotkeys,
   and a backlight device
4) acer-wmi loads, calls acpi_video_dmi_promote_vendor()
5) calls acpi_video_unregister, this unregisters BOTH the acpi_notifier for
   the hotkeys AND the backlight device

And we end up without any handler for the brightness hotkeys. This patch fixes
this by switching over to acpi_video_unregister_backlight() which keeps the
hotkey handler in place.
