[PATCH 0/3] ACPI/video / platform/x86: Add backlight=native quirk for Dell OptiPlex 7760 AIO

[Hans de Goede <hdegoede@redhat.com>]

Hi Rafael,

6.10 has a new backlight driver for UART attached backlight controller
boards found in some Dell All in One models.

Now the first AIO has turned up which has not only the DSDT bits for this,
but also an actual controller attached to the UART, yet it is not using
this controller for backlight control (it needs GPU native control).

I did not tie the dell-uart-backlight into acpi_video_get_backlight_type()
yet, so the first 2 patches in this series deal with that and the third
patch adds a DMI quirk to select native backlight control on top.

Backlight control used to work on the Dell OptiPlex 7760 AIO with kernel
6.9 and older, so this is a regression and I would like to see this
series merged as fixes for 6.11.

Rafael, the drivers/platform/x86/dell/dell-uart-backlight.c are small
and isolated. So I believe it is best if you take the entire series,
to avoid conflicts if any other drivers/apci/video_detect.c DMI quirks
show up this cycle.

Regards,

Hans
