Hi All,
I know it has not been that long since the last send of this series, but it has been very quiet, and I would like to see some discussion on it (or it being applied at once, that is fine too :)
This patch-set adds backlight device (un)registration notification and makes acpi-video listen to it, so that video.use_native_backlight=1 still works if a raw interface gets loaded *after* acpi-video has been initialized.
It also changes nouveau to always register its raw interface, as all the other kms drivers do, acpi_video_backlight_support() is only intended to avoid the loading of multiple (possibly conflicting) firmware drivers, not to avoid loading raw drivers.
In the mean time I've gotten feedback from a user with a laptop which needs video.use_native_backlight=1 and uses nouveau, and he has confirmed that this patch-set works as advertised, see: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1093171
Regards,
Hans
