Hi All,
I'm working on cleaning up the currently somewhat convoluted logic to select which backlight interfaces to register on x86 systems, see: http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/dri-devel/2014-December/074687.html
For a rought outline (details will change in the actual patch-set).
These 3 patches are a preparation for that work, as the behavior of the current code is not always consistent (it changes depending on module loading order in some cases). These 3 patches remove this inconsistency which in some cases may result in a behavior change.
This way the cleanup can have a consistent base to build upon, and I can ensure that the cleanup itself does not cause any functional changes.
Thanks for doing this.
Slightly unrelated, but you'll end up calling:
acpi_video_unregister_backlight acpi_video_bus_unregister_backlight acpi_video_dev_unregister_backlight thermal_cooling_device_unregister
Uhm, err, what? What business does *that* have in the backlight unregister call chain?! Should that be untangled from the mess too?
BR, Jani.
I hope to post a v1 of the actual cleanup patch-set in 1-2 weeks.
Regards,
