Subject: [RFC 2/3] acer-wmi: Switch to acpi_video_unregister_backlight
Date: Mon, 12 May 2014 20:03:43 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1399917824-10341-3-git-send-email-hdegoede@redhat.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1399917824-10341-1-git-send-email-hdegoede@redhat.com>
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.
