With commit 2c62333a408f "ACPI / video: Quirk initial backlight level 0" we do not need to have the following systems in DMI table, so remove them. HP Pavilion m4, HP 1000 Notebook PC, HP Pavilion g6 Notebook PC, HP Pavilion dm4, Fujitsu E753, HP Folio 13-2000. With this change, the use_bios_initial_backlight module parameter is no longer needed and thus removed.

This reverts commit e37f14a5fb85522f3bbf88ece6134c4e610ed598. It turned out other systems also share the same problem with bug 63111 so I made a patch to catch initial brightness level 0 problem. With that patch applied, we do not need to place HP 250 G1 in DMI table.

Some firmware doesn't initialize initial backlight level to a proper value and _BQC will return 0 on first time evaluation. We used to be able to detect such incorrect value with our code logic, as value 0 normally isn't a valid value in _BCL. But with the introduction of Win8, firmware begins to fill _BCL with values from 0 to 100, now 0 becomes a valid value but that value will make user's screen black. This patch test initial _BQC for value 0, if such a value is returned, do not use it.

When testing if the firmware's initial value is valid, we should use the corrected level value instead of the raw value returned from firmware. Signed-off-by: Aaron Lu <aaron.lu@intel.com> Signed-off-by: Rafael J. Wysocki <rafael.j.wysocki@intel.com>
On HP 250 G1 laptops, BIOS reports minimum backlight on boot and causes backlight to dim completely. This ignores the initial backlight values and set to max brightness.

According to Matthew Garrett, "Windows 8 leaves backlight control up to individual graphics drivers rather than making ACPI calls itself. There's plenty of evidence to suggest that the Intel driver for Windows [8] doesn't use the ACPI interface, including the fact that it's broken on a bunch of machines when the OS claims to support Windows 8. The simplest thing to do appears to be to disable the ACPI backlight interface on these systems". So for Win8 systems, if there is native backlight control interface registered by GPU driver, ACPI video does not need to register its own. Since there are systems that don't work well with this approach, a parameter for video module named use_native_backlight is introduced and has the value of false by default. For users who have a broken ACPI video backlight interface, video.use_native_backlight=1 is needed in kernel cmdline. Signed-off-by: Aaron Lu <aaron.lu@intel.com> Signed-off-by: Rafael J.

The backlight control and event delivery functionality provided by ACPI video module is mixed together and registered all during video device enumeration time. As a result, the two functionality are also removed together on module unload time or by the acpi_video_unregister function. The two functionalities are actually independent and one may be useful while the other one may be broken, so it is desirable to seperate the two functionalities such that it is clear and easy to disable one functionality without affecting the other one. APIs to selectively remove backlight control interface and/or event delivery functionality can be easily added once needed. Signed-off-by: Aaron Lu <aaron.lu@intel.com> Signed-off-by: Rafael J.
