Subject: [PATCH AUTOSEL 6.1 05/10] ACPI: video: Don't enable fallback path for creating ACPI backlight by default
Date: Tue,  3 Jan 2023 13:39:29 -0500	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20230103183934.2022663-5-sashal@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20230103183934.2022663-1-sashal@kernel.org>

From: Mario Limonciello <mario.limonciello@amd.com>

[ Upstream commit 5aa9d943e9b6bf6e6023645cbe7ce7d5ed84baf4 ]

The ACPI video detection code has a module parameter
`register_backlight_delay` which is currently configured to 8 seconds.
This means that if after 8 seconds of booting no native driver has created
a backlight device then the code will attempt to make an ACPI video
backlight device.

This was intended as a safety mechanism with the backlight overhaul that
occurred in kernel 6.1, but as it doesn't appear necesssary set it to be
disabled by default.
