2009-02-02ACPI: Skip the first two elements in the _BCL packageZhao Yakui
According to the Spec the first two elements in the _BCL package won't be regarded as the available brightness level. The first is the brightness when full power is connected to the box(It means that the AC adapter is plugged). The second is the brightness level when the box is on battery. If the first two elements are still used while finding the next brightness level, it will fall back to the lowest level when keeping on pressing hotkey. (On some boxes the brightness will be changed twice when hotkey is pressed once. One is in the ACPI video driver. The other is changed by sys I/F. In the ACPI video driver the first two elements will be used while changing the brightness. But the first two elements is skipped while using sys I/F. In such case there exists the inconsistency). So he first two elements had better be skipped while showing the available brightness or finding the next brightness level. http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=12450 Signed-off-by: Zhao Yakui <yakui.zhao@intel.com> Signed-off-by: Len Brown <len.brown@intel.com>

2008-12-11ACPI: video: Fix reversed brightness behavior on ThinkPad SL seriesZhang Rui
Section B.6.2 of ACPI 3.0b specification that defines _BCL method doesn't require the brightness levels returned to be sorted. At least ThinkPad SL300 (and probably all IdeaPads) returns the array reversed (i.e. bightest levels have lowest indexes), which causes the brightness management behave in completely reversed manner on these machines (brightness increases when the laptop is idle, while the display dims when used). Sorting the array by brightness level values after reading the list fixes the issue. http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=12037 Signed-off-by: Zhang Rui <rui.zhang@intel.com> Tested-by: Lubomir Rintel <lkundrak@v3.sk> Signed-off-by: Len Brown <len.brown@intel.com>

2008-11-07ACPI video: if no ACPI backlight support, use vendor driversThomas Renninger
If an ACPI graphics device supports backlight brightness functions (cmp. with latest ACPI spec Appendix B), let the ACPI video driver control backlight and switch backlight control off in vendor specific ACPI drivers (asus_acpi, thinkpad_acpi, eeepc, fujitsu_laptop, msi_laptop, sony_laptop, acer-wmi). Currently it is possible to load above drivers and let both poke on the brightness HW registers, the video and vendor specific ACPI drivers -> bad. This patch provides the basic support to check for BIOS capabilities before driver loading time. Driver specific modifications are in separate follow up patches. "acpi_backlight=vendor" Prever vendor driver over ACPI driver for backlight. "acpi_backlight=video" (default) Prever ACPI driver over vendor driver for backlight.

2008-11-07ACPI: video: Ignore devices that aren't present in hardwareThomas Renninger
This is a reimplemention of commit 0119509c4fbc9adcef1472817fda295334612976 from Matthew Garrett <mjg59@srcf.ucam.org> This patch got removed because of a regression: ThinkPads with a Intel graphics card and an Integrated Graphics Device BIOS implementation stopped working. In fact, they only worked because the ACPI device of the discrete, the wrong one, got used (via int10). So ACPI functions were poking on the wrong hardware used which is a sever bug. The next patch provides support for above ThinkPads to be able to switch brightness via the legacy thinkpad_acpi driver and automatically detect when to use it. Original commit message from Matthew Garrett: Vendors often ship machines with a choice of integrated or discrete graphics, and use the same DSDT for both. As a result, the ACPI video module will locate devices that may not exist on this specific platform. Attempt to determine whether the device exists or not, and abort the device creation if it doesn't. http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=9614 Signed-off-by: Thomas Renninger <trenn@suse.de> Acked-by: Zhang Rui <rui.zhang@intel.com> Signed-off-by: Andi Kleen <ak@linux.intel.com> Signed-off-by: Len Brown <len.brown@intel.com>

2008-02-02ACPI: video: Ignore devices that aren't present in hardwareMatthew Garrett
Vendors often ship machines with a choice of integrated or discrete graphics, and use the same DSDT for both. As a result, the ACPI video module will locate devices that may not exist on this specific platform. Attempt to determine whether the device exists or not, and abort the device creation if it doesn't. http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=9614 Signed-off-by: Matthew Garrett <mjg59@srcf.ucam.org> Acked-by: Zhang Rui <rui.zhang@intel.com> Signed-off-by: Len Brown <len.brown@intel.com>
2008-02-01ACPI: register ACPI Video LCD as generic thermal cooling deviceZhang Rui
Register ACPI video device as thermal cooling devices as they may be listed in _TZD method and the backlight control can be used for throttling. Signed-off-by: Zhang Rui <rui.zhang@intel.com> Signed-off-by: Thomas Sujith <sujith.thomas@intel.com> Signed-off-by: Len Brown <len.brown@intel.com>
2008-02-01ACPI: video: Rationalise ACPI backlight implementationMatthew Garrett
The sysfs backlight class provides no mechanism for querying the acceptable brightness for a backlight. The ACPI spec states that values are only valid if they are reported as available by the firmware. Since we can't provide that information to userspace, instead collapse the range to the number of actual values that can be set. http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=9277 Signed-off-by: Matthew Garrett <mjg59@srcf.ucam.org> Acked-by: Zhang Rui <rui.zhang@intel.com> Signed-off-by: Len Brown <len.brown@intel.com>
