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".
There's a problem with that approach, however, because simply
avoiding to register the ACPI backlight interface if the firmware
calls _OSI for Windows 8 may not work in the following situations:
(1) The ACPI backlight interface actually works on the given system
and the i915 driver is not loaded (e.g. another graphics driver
is used).
(2) The ACPI backlight interface doesn't work on the given system,
but there is a vendor platform driver that will register its
own, equally broken, backlight interface if not prevented from
doing so by the ACPI subsystem.
Therefore we need to allow the ACPI backlight interface to be
registered until the i915 driver is loaded which then will unregister
it if the firmware has called _OSI for Windows 8 (or will register
the ACPI video driver without backlight support if not already
present).
For this reason, introduce an alternative function for registering
ACPI video, acpi_video_register_with_quirks(), that will check
whether or not the ACPI video driver has already been registered
and whether or not the backlight Windows 8 quirk has to be applied.
If the quirk has to be applied, it will block the ACPI backlight
support and either unregister the backlight interface if the ACPI
video driver has already been registered, or register the ACPI
video driver without the backlight interface otherwise. Make
the i915 driver use acpi_video_register_with_quirks() instead of
acpi_video_register() in i915_driver_load().
This change is based on earlier patches from Matthew Garrett,
Chun-Yi Lee and Seth Forshee and includes a fix from Aaron Lu's.

Like on UL30VT, the ACPI video driver can't control backlight correctly on
Asus UL30A. Vendor driver (asus-laptop) can work. This patch is to
add "Asus UL30A" to ACPI video detect blacklist in order to use
asus-laptop for video control on the "Asus UL30A" rather than ACPI

This patch updates the internal operations of acpi_device_set_id()
to setup acpi_device_pnp without using acpi_device. There is no
functional change to acpi_device_set_id() in this patch.
acpi_pnp_type is added to acpi_device_pnp, so that PNPID type is
self-contained within acpi_device_pnp. acpi_add_id(), acpi_bay_match(),
acpi_dock_match(), acpi_ibm_smbus_match() and acpi_is_video_device()
are changed to take acpi_handle as an argument, instead of acpi_device.

On Samsung X360, the BIOS will set a flag (VDRV) if the generic
ACPI backlight device is used. This flag will definitively break
the backlight interface (even the vendor interface) untill next
reboot. It's why we should prevent video.ko from being used here
and we can't rely on a later call to acpi_video_unregister().

Instead of adding a big blacklist in video_detect.c to set
ACPI_VIDEO_BACKLIGHT_DMI_VENDOR correctly, let external modules
promote or demote themselves when they know the generic video
module won't work.
Currently drivers where using acpi_video_unregister() directly
but:
- That didn't respect any acpi_backlight=[video|vendor] parameter
provided by the user.
- Any later call to acpi_video_register() would still re-load the
generic video module (and some gpu drivers are doing that).
This patch fix those two issues.

asus_acpi only support old models, it has been deprecated since
2009 in favor of asus-laptop, it's not built by any (sane) distro,
so it is time to say good bye.

done on it, I would never have wrote asus-laptop and other asus

This patch reverts one hunk of 677bd810ee
"ACPI video: remove output switching control", namely the removal of
probing for _DOS/_DOD when searching for video devices.
This is needed on some Fujitsu Laptops (at least S7110, P8010) for the
ACPI backlight interface to work, as an these machines, neither ROM nor
posting methods are available, and after removal of output switching,
none of the caps triggers, which prevents the backlight search from
being entered.
Tested on a Fujitsu Lifebook S7110 and Fujitsu Lifebook P8010.
This probably fixes https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=27312

Currently a video bus device must (beside other criteria) define _DOD and
_DOS methods to be considered a video device.
Some broken BIOSes prevented working backlight control by only defining both
for one (non-existing bus) and only _DOD for the rest. With this patch in
place the other bus definitions were considered too and backlight control
started to work again.

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.
