Wysocki" , Len Brown Cc: Vincent Gerris , linux-acpi@vger.kernel.org Hi All, I know that there are plans to enable use_native_backlight by default, so this may not be necessary: http://www.spinics.net/lists/dri-devel/msg57228.html But this is a problem right now, and those plans are for 3.16 which is still quite far away, so lets stick with quirks for now so we can at least give people something working. Moreover, that plan has been tried before and it did not end well: https://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/commit/drivers/ So lets just keep the quirk list up2date for now, until we've a better solution. Regards, Hans
