Subject: [PATCH 1/2] toshiba_acpi: Add extra check to backlight code
Date: Mon,  4 Aug 2014 09:21:01 -0600	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1407165662-1971-2-git-send-email-coproscefalo@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1407165662-1971-1-git-send-email-coproscefalo@gmail.com>

Some Toshiba models (most notably Qosmios) come with an
incomplete backlight method where the AML code doesn't
check for write or read commands and always returns
HCI_SUCCESS and the actual brightness (and in some
cases the max brightness), thus allowing the backlight
interface to be registered without write support.

This patch changes the set_lcd_brightness function,
checking the returned values for values greater than
zero to avoid registering a broken backlight interface.
