<content type='text'>
commit 8ab17fc92e49bc2b8fff9d220c19bf50ec9c1158 upstream.

Commit 46394fd01 (ACPI / hotplug: Move container-specific code out of
the core) removed the generation of "online" uevents for containers,
because "add" uevents are now generated for them automatically when
container system devices are registered.  However, there are user
space tools that need to be notified when the container and all of
its children have been enumerated, which doesn't happen any more.

For this reason, add a mechanism allowing "online" uevents to be
generated for ACPI containers after enumerating the container along
with all of its children.

Fixes: 46394fd01 (ACPI / hotplug: Move container-specific code out of the core)

<title>ACPI / scan: not cache _SUN value in struct acpi_device_pnp</title>

<content type='text'>
commit a383b68d9fe9864c4d3b86f67ad6488f58136435 upstream.

The _SUN device indentification object is not guaranteed to return
the same value every time it is executed, so we should not cache its
return value, but rather execute it every time as needed.  If it is
cached, an incorrect stale value may be used in some situations.

This issue was exposed by commit 202317a573b2 (ACPI / scan: Add
acpi_device objects for all device nodes in the namespace).  Fix it
by avoiding to cache the return value of _SUN.

<title>ACPI / i915: ignore firmware requests for backlight change</title>

<id>0b9f7d93ca6109048a4eb06332b666b6e29df4fe</id>
<content type='text'>
Some Thinkpad laptops' firmware will initiate a backlight level change
request through operation region on the events of AC plug/unplug, but
since we are not using firmware's interface to do the backlight setting
on these affected laptops, we do not want the firmware to use some
arbitrary value from its ASL variable to set the backlight level on
AC plug/unplug either.

The _PRP method is not going to be a part of the ACPI standard. This patch
removes its support code introduced by the following commits:
 1. ACPICA: Predefined names: Add support for the _PRP method.
 2. ACPICA: Update for _PRP predefined name.
 3. ACPICA: Add support for _LPD and _PRP methods.
 4. ACPICA: Back port of _PRP update.
