Dell All In One (AIO) models released after 2017 may use a backlight
controller board connected to an UART.

In DSDT this uart port will be defined as:

   Name (_HID, "DELL0501")
   Name (_CID, EisaId ("PNP0501")

The Dell OptiPlex 7760 AIO has an ACPI device for one if its UARTs with
the above _HID + _CID. Loading the dell-uart-backlight driver shows that
there actually is a backlight controller board attached to the UART,
which reports a firmware version of "G&amp;MX01-V15".

But the backlight controller board does not actually control the backlight
brightness and the GPU's native backlight control method does work.

Add a quirk to use the GPU's native backlight control method on this model.

Commit 484bae9e4d6a ("platform/x86: Add new Dell UART backlight driver")
has added support for this, but I neglected to tie this into
acpi_video_get_backlight_type().

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.

Add support to acpi_video_get_backlight_type() for a new dell_uart
backlight type. So that the existing infra to override the backlight
control method on the commandline or with DMI quirks can be used.

<title>ACPI: EC: Evaluate _REG outside the EC scope more carefully</title>

Commit 60fa6ae6e6d0 ("ACPI: EC: Install address space handler at the
namespace root") caused _REG methods for EC operation regions outside
the EC device scope to be evaluated which on some systems leads to the
evaluation of _REG methods in the scopes of device objects representing
devices that are not present and not functional according to the _STA
return values. Some of those device objects represent EC "alternatives"
and if _REG is evaluated for their operation regions, the platform
firmware may be confused and the platform may start to behave
incorrectly.

To avoid this problem, only evaluate _REG for EC operation regions
located in the scopes of device objects representing known-to-be-present
devices.

For this purpose, partially revert commit 60fa6ae6e6d0 and trigger the
evaluation of _REG for EC operation regions from acpi_bus_attach() for
the known-valid devices.

A subsequent change will need to pass a depth argument to
acpi_execute_reg_methods(), so prepare that function for it.

No intentional functional changes.

 "Here is the big set of driver core changes for 6.11-rc1.

  in here are:

   - platform remove callback api final fixups (Uwe took many releases
     to get here, finally!)

   - Rust bindings for basic firmware apis and initial driver-core
     interactions.

     It's not all that useful for a "write a whole driver in rust" type
     of thing, but the firmware bindings do help out the phy rust
     drivers, and the driver core bindings give a solid base on which
     others can start their work.

     There is still a long way to go here before we have a multitude of
     rust drivers being added, but it's a great first step.

   - driver core const api changes.

     This reached across all bus types, and there are some fix-ups for
     some not-common bus types that linux-next and 0-day testing shook
     out.

     This work is being done to help make the rust bindings more safe,
     as well as the C code, moving toward the end-goal of allowing us to
     put driver structures into read-only memory. We aren't there yet,

Pull interrupt subsystem updates from Thomas Gleixner:
 "Core:

   - Provide a new mechanism to create interrupt domains. The existing
     interfaces have already too many parameters and it's a pain to
     expand any of this for new required functionality.

     The new function takes a pointer to a data structure as argument.
     The data structure combines all existing parameters and allows for
     easy extension.

     The first extension for this is to handle the instantiation of
     generic interrupt chips at the core level and to allow drivers to
     provide extra init/exit callbacks.

     This is necessary to do the full interrupt chip initialization
     before the new domain is published, so that concurrent usage sites
     won't see a half initialized interrupt domain. Similar problems
     exist on teardown.

     This has turned out to be a real problem due to the deferred and
     parallel probing which was added in recent years.

     Handling this at the core level allows to remove quite some accrued
     boilerplate code in existing drivers and avoids horrible
     workarounds at the driver level.

   - The usual small improvements all over the place

  Drivers:

   - Add support for LAN966x OIC and RZ/Five SoC

   - Split the STM ExtI driver into a microcontroller and a SMP version
     to allow building the latter as a module for multi-platform
     kernels

   - Enable MSI support for Armada 370XP on platforms which do not
     support IPIs

   - The usual small fixes and enhancements all over the place"

Haibo Xu &lt;haibo1.xu@intel.com&gt; says:

This patch series enable RISC-V ACPI NUMA support which was based on
the recently approved ACPI ECR[1].

Patch 1/4 add RISC-V specific acpi_numa.c file to parse NUMA information
from SRAT and SLIT ACPI tables.
Patch 2/4 add the common SRAT RINTC affinity structure handler.
Patch 3/4 change the ACPI_NUMA to a hidden option since it would be selected
by default on all supported platform.
Patch 4/4 replace pr_info with pr_debug in arch_acpi_numa_init() to avoid
potential boot noise on ACPI platforms that are not NUMA.

Based-on: https://github.com/linux-riscv/linux-riscv/tree/for-next

[1] https://drive.google.com/file/d/1YTdDx2IPm5IeZjAW932EYU-tUtgS08tX/view?usp=sharing

Testing:
Since the ACPI AIA/PLIC support patch set is still under upstream review,
hence it is tested using the poll based HVC SBI console and RAM disk.

x86/arm64/loongarch would select ACPI_NUMA by default and riscv
would do the same thing, so change it to a hidden option and the
select statements except for the X86_64_ACPI_NUMA can also go away.
