This patch goes hand in hand with:
commit 3cb1f40dfdc3 ("drivers/platform: toshiba_acpi: Call HCI_PANEL_POWER_ON on resume on some models")
and without that commit also being present it will cause a regression on
the quirkes Toshiba models.
This really is part of the big x86/ACPI backlight handling refactor which
has landed in 6.1 and as such is not intended for older kernels, please
drop this from the stable series.
Regards,
Hans
p.s.
I'll also copy and paste this reply to the other stable series kernels where this has
been cherry-picked.
