    drm/radeon: Register ACPI video backlight when skipping radeon backlight registration · 5e0e33f9
    Hans de Goede authored
    Typically the acpi_video driver will initialize before radeon, which
    used to cause /sys/class/backlight/acpi_video0 to get registered and then
    radeon would register its own radeon_bl# device later. After which
    the drivers/acpi/video_detect.c code unregistered the acpi_video0 device
    to avoid there being 2 backlight devices.
    
    This means that userspace used to briefly see 2 devices and the
    disappearing of acpi_video0 after a brief time confuses the systemd
    backlight level save/restore code, see e.g.:
    https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=269920
    
    To fix this the ACPI video code has been modified to make backlight class
    device registration a separate step, relying on the drm/kms driver to
    ask for the acpi_video backlight registration after it is done setting up
    its native backlight device.
    
    Add a call to the new acpi_video_register_backlight() when radeon skips
    registering its own backlight device because of e.g. the firmware_flags
    or the acpi_video_get_backlight_type() return value. This ensures that
    if the acpi_video backlight device should be used, it will be available
    before the radeon drm_device gets registered with userspace.
