The _DOD method lists which video output device is currently attached so
we should only care about them and ignore others. An user recently
reported that there are two acpi_video interfaces appeared on his system
and one of them doesn't work. From the acpidump, it is found that there
are more than one video output devices that have _BCM control method but
the _DOD lists only one of them. So this patch checks if the video output
device is in the _DOD list and will not create backlight device if it is
not in the list. Also, we consider the broken _DOD case(reflected by the
video->attached_count is 0) and do not change behaviour for those broken
_DOD systems.

The ThinkPad X201s has a working ACPI video backlight interface and is
shipped before Win8; then there is BIOS update that starts to query
_OSI("Windows 2012") and that would make our video module stop creating
backlight interface and caused problem for the user. Add it to the DMI

Commit 751109aad5 ("ACPI / video: Change the default for
video.use_native_backlight to 1") has changed the default for
use_native_backlight from 0 to 1, but instead of changing
use_native_backlight_dmi to true, and leaving use_native_backlight_param at -1,
it has changed use_native_backlight_param to 1.
This causes acpi_video_use_native_backlight() to always think that a value was
specified through the param, making it impossible to add a dmi based quirk
to force 0 now that the default is 1.
This fixes this by restoring the use_native_backlight_param default to -1, and
instead setting the use_native_backlight_dmi default to true.

When the windows8 related backlight problems became evident, 2 approaches
were follow in parallel, one was to stop claiming to be windows 8 / 2012,
the other was to tell acpi_video to stop registering a backlight driver.
I've read all the threads and it seems that which approach ended up being
applied to which model laptop was never really a concious decision (AFAIK):
https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=51231https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=60682
So lets move all the models which are only on the win8 blacklist because of
brightness issues to the use_native_backlight list, which is the smaller
hammer to use to solve the backlight issues.
Making this change is esp. attractive now that 3.16 has
video.use_native_brightness=1 by default. If that new default does not get
reverted because of regressions, then we can drop all the models
with a use_native_backlight quirk, greatly reducing the number of models we've
a quirk for.

In various scenarious userspace will respond to brightness up/down keypresses
by increasing/decreasing the backlight brightness itself. If the kernel then
also changes the brightness this results in the brightness having changed 2
steps for a single keypress which is undesirable. See e.g. :
https://bugs.launchpad.net/gnome-settings-daemon/+bug/527157http://askubuntu.com/questions/173921/why-does-my-thinkpad-brightness-control-skip-steps
This commit delays responding to brightness up/down keypresses by 100 ms and
if userspace in that time responds by changing the backlight itself, cancels
the kernels own handling of these keypresses, fixing the 2 steps issue.

This causes video.use_native_backlight=1 to not have the desired result.
This patch fixes this by adding a backlight notifier and when a raw

Add an acpi_video_unregister_backlight function, which only unregisters
the backlight device, and leaves the acpi_notifier in place. Some acpi_vendor
driver need this as they don't want the acpi_video# backlight device, but do
need the acpi-video driver for hotkey handling.
Chances are that this new acpi_video_unregister_backlight() is actually
what existing acpi_vendor drivers have wanted all along. Currently acpi_vendor
drivers which want to disable the acpi_video# backlight device, make 2 calls:
acpi_video_dmi_promote_vendor();
acpi_video_unregister();
The intention here is to make things independent of when acpi_video_register()
gets called. As acpi_video_register() will get called on acpi-video load time
on non intel gfx machines, while it gets called on i915 load time on intel
gfx machines.
This leads to the following 2 interesting scenarios:
a) intel gfx:
1) acpi-video module gets loaded (as it is a dependency of acpi_vendor
and i915)
2) acpi-video does NOT call acpi_video_register()
3) acpi_vendor loads (lets assume it loads before i915), calls
acpi_video_dmi_promote_vendor(); which sets
ACPI_VIDEO_BACKLIGHT_DMI_VENDOR
4) calls acpi_video_unregister -> not registered, nop
5) i915 loads, calls acpi_video_register
6) acpi_video_register registers the acpi_notifier for the hotkeys,
does NOT register a backlight device because of
ACPI_VIDEO_BACKLIGHT_DMI_VENDOR
b) non intel gfx
1) acpi-video module gets loaded (as it is a dependency acpi_vendor)
2) acpi-video calls acpi_video_register()
3) acpi_video_register registers the acpi_notifier for the hotkeys,
and a backlight device
4) acpi_vendor loads, calls acpi_video_dmi_promote_vendor()
5) calls acpi_video_unregister, this unregisters BOTH the acpi_notifier
for the hotkeys AND the backlight device
So here we have possibly the same acpi_vendor module, making the same calls,
but with different results, in one cases acpi-video does handle hotkeys,
in the other it does not.
Note that the a) scenario turns into b) if we assume the i915 module loads
before the vendor_acpi module, so we also have different behavior depending
on module loading order!
So as said I believe that quite a few existing acpi_vendor modules really
always want the behavior of a), hence this patch adds a new
acpi_video_unregister_backlight() which gives the behavior of a) independent
of module loading order.

acpi-video is unique in that it not only generates brightness up/down
keypresses, but also (sometimes) actively changes the brightness itself.
This presents an inconsistent kernel interface to userspace, basically there
are 2 different scenarios, depending on the laptop model:
1) On some laptops a brightness up/down keypress means: show a brightness osd
with the current brightness, iow it is a brightness has changed notification.
2) Where as on (a lot of) other laptops it means a brightness up/down key was
pressed, deal with it.
Most of the desktop environments interpret any press as in scenario 2, and
change the brightness up / down as a response to the key events, causing it
to be changed twice, once by acpi-video and once by the DE.
With the new default for video.use_native_backlight we will be moving even
more laptops over to behaving as in scenario 2. Making the remaining laptops
even more of a weird exception. Also note that it is hard to detect scenario
1 properly in userspace, and AFAIK none of the DE-s deals with it.
Therefor this commit changes the default of brightness_switch_enabled to 0
making its behavior consistent with all the other backlight drivers.

Some devices have duplicate entries in there brightness levels table, ie
on my Dell Latitude E6430 the table looks like this:
[ 3.686060] acpi backlight index 0, val 80
[ 3.686095] acpi backlight index 1, val 50
[ 3.686122] acpi backlight index 2, val 5
[ 3.686147] acpi backlight index 3, val 5
[ 3.686172] acpi backlight index 4, val 5
[ 3.686197] acpi backlight index 5, val 5
[ 3.686223] acpi backlight index 6, val 5
[ 3.686248] acpi backlight index 7, val 5
[ 3.686273] acpi backlight index 8, val 6
[ 3.686332] acpi backlight index 9, val 7
[ 3.686356] acpi backlight index 10, val 8
[ 3.686380] acpi backlight index 11, val 9
etc.
Notice that brightness values 0-5 are all mapped to 5. This means that
if userspace writes any value between 0 and 5 to the brightness sysfs attribute
and then reads it, it will always return 0, which is somewhat unexpected.
This is a problem for ie gnome-settings-daemon, which uses read-modify-write
logic when the users presses the brightness up or down keys. This is done
this way to take brightness changes from other sources into account.
On this specific laptop what happens once the brightness has been set to 0,
is that gsd reads 0, adds 5, writes 5, and on the next brightness up key press
again reads 0, so things get stuck at the lowest brightness setting.
Filtering out the duplicate table entries, makes any write to brightness
read back as the written value as one would expect, fixing this.

First of all, <acpi/acpi.h>, <acpi/acpi_bus.h> and <acpi/acpi_drivers.h>

undefined symbols in !CONFIG_ACPI builds. For CONFIG_ACPI set,
<linux/acpi.h> includes those files and for CONFIG_ACPI unset it
provides stub ACPI symbols to be used in that case.
Second, there are ordering dependencies between those files that always
have to be met. Namely, it is required that <acpi/acpi_bus.h> be included
prior to <acpi/acpi_drivers.h> so that the acpi_pci_root declarations the
latter depends on are always there. And <acpi/acpi.h> which provides
basic ACPICA type declarations should always be included prior to any other
ACPI headers in CONFIG_ACPI builds. That also is taken care of including

Some firmware doesn't initialize initial backlight level to a proper

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.

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.

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.

If the _BCL package ordering is descending, the first level
(br->levels[2]) is likely to be 0, and if the number of levels
matches the number of steps, we might confuse a returned level to
mean the index.
For example:
current_level = max_level = 100
test_level = 0
returned level = 100
In this case 100 means the level, not the index, and _BCM failed.
Still, if the _BCL package ordering is descending, the index of
level 0 is also 100, so we assume _BQC is indexed, when it's not.
This causes all _BQC calls to return bogus values causing weird
behavior from the user's perspective. For example:
xbacklight -set 10; xbacklight -set 20;
would flash to 90% and then slowly down to the desired level (20).
The solution is simple; test anything other than the first level
(e.g. 1).

We attempted to address a regression introduced by commit a57f7f9
(ACPICA: Add Windows8/Server2012 string for _OSI method.) after which
ACPI video backlight support doesn't work on a number of systems,
because the relevant AML methods in the ACPI tables in their BIOSes
become useless after the BIOS has been told that the OS is compatible
with Windows 8. That problem is tracked by the bug entry at:
https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=51231
Commit 8c5bd7a (ACPI / video / i915: No ACPI backlight if firmware
expects Windows 8) introduced for this purpose essentially prevented
the ACPI backlight support from being used if the BIOS had been told
that the OS was compatible with Windows 8 and the i915 driver was
loaded, in which case the backlight would always be handled by i915.
Unfortunately, however, that turned out to cause problems with
backlight to appear on multiple systems with symptoms indicating that
i915 was unable to control the backlight on those systems as
expected.
For this reason, revert commit 8c5bd7a, but leave the function
acpi_video_backlight_quirks() introduced by it, because another
commit on top of it uses that function.

Pull ACPI video support fixes from Rafael Wysocki:
"I'm sending a separate pull request for this as it may be somewhat
controversial. The breakage addressed here is not really new and the
fixes may not satisfy all users of the affected systems, but we've had
so much back and forth dance in this area over the last several weeks
that I think it's time to actually make some progress.
The source of the problem is that about a year ago we started to tell
BIOSes that we're compatible with Windows 8, which we really need to
do, because some systems shipping with Windows 8 are tested with it
and nothing else, so if we tell their BIOSes that we aren't compatible
with Windows 8, we expose our users to untested BIOS/AML code paths.
However, as it turns out, some Windows 8-specific AML code paths are
not tested either, because Windows 8 actually doesn't use the ACPI
methods containing them, so if we declare Windows 8 compatibility and
attempt to use those ACPI methods, things break. That occurs mostly
in the backlight support area where in particular the _BCM and _BQC
methods are plain unusable on some systems if the OS declares Windows
8 compatibility.
[ The additional twist is that they actually become usable if the OS
says it is not compatible with Windows 8, but that may cause
problems to show up elsewhere ]
Investigation carried out by Matthew Garrett indicates that what
Windows 8 does about backlight is to leave backlight control up to
individual graphics drivers. At least there's evidence that it does
that if the Intel graphics driver is used, so we've decided to follow
Windows 8 in that respect and allow i915 to control backlight (Daniel
likes that part).
The first commit from Aaron Lu makes ACPICA export the variable from
which we can infer whether or not the BIOS believes that we are
compatible with Windows 8.
The second commit from Matthew Garrett prepares the ACPI video driver
by making it initialize the ACPI backlight even if it is not going to
be used afterward (that is needed for backlight control to work on
Thinkpads).
The third commit implements the actual workaround making i915 take
over backlight control if the firmware thinks it's dealing with
Windows 8 and is based on the work of multiple developers, including
Matthew Garrett, Chun-Yi Lee, Seth Forshee, and Aaron Lu.
The final commit from Aaron Lu makes us follow Windows 8 by informing
the firmware through the _DOS method that it should not carry out
automatic brightness changes, so that brightness can be controlled by
GUI.
Hopefully, this approach will allow us to avoid using blacklists of
systems that should not declare Windows 8 compatibility just to avoid
backlight control problems in the future.

The BIOS of FUjitsu E753 reports an incorrect initial backlight value
for WIN8 compatible OS, causing backlight to be dark during startup.
This change causes the incorrect initial value from BIOS to be ignored.
