Summary: [915] Linux v3.15 regression with bisection:
Chromebook loses backlight control
QA Contact: intel-gfx-bugs at lists.freedesktop.org
Severity: critical
Classification: Unclassified
OS: Linux (All)
Reporter: lkml14 at scotdoyle.com
Hardware: x86-64 (AMD64)
Status: NEW
Version: unspecified
Component: DRM/Intel
Product: DRI
/sys/class/backlight/intel_backlight was available on a Toshiba CB35 Chromebook
during the 3.14 series kernels, but disappeared with the release of 3.15.
Bisecting identified the cause as:
commit b93124202fc10450a923e24cb052cacb40b2aa46 Merge branch 'drm-fixes' of
git://people.freedesktop.org/~airlied/linux
With the following patch (just for testing), the backlight is available again
and works as expected.
