[PATCH v3 00/31] drm/kms: Stop registering multiple /sys/class/backlight devs for a single display

[Hans de Goede]

Hi All,

As mentioned in my RFC titled "drm/kms: control display brightness through
drm_connector properties":
https://lore.kernel.org/dri-devel/0d188965-d809-81b5-74ce-7d30c49fee2d@redhat.com/

The first step towards this is to deal with some existing technical debt
in backlight handling on x86/ACPI boards, specifically we need to stop
registering multiple /sys/class/backlight devs for a single display.

This series implements my RFC describing my plan for these cleanups:
https://lore.kernel.org/dri-devel/98519ba0-7f18-201a-ea34-652f50343158@redhat.com/

Changes in version 3:
- ACPI_VIDEO can now be enabled on non X86 too, adjust various Kconfig changes
- Make the delay before doing fallback acpi_video backlight registration
  a module option (patch 9)
- Move the nvidia-wmi-ec-backlight fw API definitions to a shared header
- Add a "acpi_video_get_backlight_type() == acpi_backlight_nvidia_wmi_ec"
  check to the nvidia-wmi-ec-backlight driver (patch 19)

Changes in version 2:
- Introduce acpi_video_backlight_use_native() helper
- Finishes the refactoring, addressing all the bits from the "Other issues"
  section of the refactor RFC

The i915 patches (patch 2 and 12 still need a review/ack), all the
other patches have already been acked. This series as submitted is
based on drm-tip for CI purposes. I also have an immutable branch
based on 6.0-rc1 with these same patches available here:
https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/pdx86/platform-drivers-x86.git/log/?h=backlight-detect-refactor-v3
assuming the i915 patches also pass review I hope to send out
a pull-request to all involved subsystems based on this branch soon.

Regards,

Hans
