Subject: [REGRESSION BISECTED] backlight control stops workin with 3.14 and later
Date: Tue, 22 Jul 2014 08:42:33 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <53CE07D9.3090308@redhat.com> (raw)
Hi Jani et al,
A friend of mine Bertrik Sikken (in the Cc) his backlight control
stopped working for him on his Samsung N150Plus netbook.
I took a quick look, and the raw intel_backlight backlight interface
works under 3.14, but the firmware samsung_laptop backlight interface,
which is what most userspace apps will use by default, stops working
in 3.14 .
I've asked him to bisect this and the bisect points out this
commit as the culprit:
b35684b8fa94e04f55fd38bf672b737741d2f9e2 is the first bad commit
commit b35684b8fa94e04f55fd38bf672b737741d2f9e2

drm/i915: do full backlight setup at enable time
We should now have all the information we need to do a full
initialization of the backlight registers.
v2: Keep QUIRK_NO_PCH_PWM_ENABLE for now (Imre).

Note that this laptop has an acpi_video backlight interface too,
but that has been broken from the start and gets disabled by
samsung-laptop based on dmi matching.
Regards,
Hans
