[PATCH] i915: Quirk out disconnected backlight

Grant Likely grant.likely at secretlab.ca
Fri Sep 14 05:57:06 PDT 2012


Some platforms (for instance MacbookPros) have custom backlight drivers
and don't use the integrated i915 backlight control. This patch adds a
quirk to disable registering the intel backlight when unused on a
platform.

Tested on MacbookPro8,3. Without this patch both the intel_backlight and
gmux_backlight devices get registered and userspace doesn't know which
it should use.
