      acer-wmi: Switch to acpi_video_unregister_backlight · d1337415
      Hans de Goede authored
      Switch from acpi_video_unregister(), to acpi_video_unregister_backlight(),
      so that the hotkeys handler registered by acpi-video stays in place.
      
      Since there are no mappings for the atkbd raw codes for the brightness
      keys used by newer Acer models in /lib/udev/hwdb.d/60-keyboard.hwdb, and
      since we map the wmi events with a code of KE_IGNORE, we rely on acpi-video
      to do the hotkey handling for us.
      
      For laptops such as the Acer Aspire 5750 which uses intel gfx this works
      despite us calling acpi_video_unregister() because the following happens:
      
       1) acpi-video module gets loaded (as it is a dependency of acer-wmi and i915)
       2) acpi-video does NOT call acpi_video_register()
       3) acer-wmi loads (assume it loads before i915), calls
          acpi_video_dmi_promote_vendor(); which sets
          ACPI_VIDEO_BACKLIGHT_DMI_VENDOR
       4) calls acpi_video_unregister -> not registered, nop
       5) i915 loads, calls acpi_video_register
       6) acpi_video_register registers the acpi_notifier for the hotkeys,
          does NOT register a backlight device because of
          ACPI_VIDEO_BACKLIGHT_DMI_VENDOR
      
      But on the Acer Aspire 5750G, which uses nvidia graphics the following happens:
       1) acpi-video module gets loaded (as it is a dependency of acer-wmi)
       2) acpi-video calls acpi_video_register()
       3) acpi_video_register registers the acpi_notifier for the hotkeys,
          and a backlight device
       4) acer-wmi loads, calls acpi_video_dmi_promote_vendor()
       5) calls acpi_video_unregister, this unregisters BOTH the acpi_notifier for
          the hotkeys AND the backlight device
      
      And we end up without any handler for the brightness hotkeys. This patch fixes
      this by switching over to acpi_video_unregister_backlight() which keeps the
      hotkey handler in place.

      ACPI / video: Add an acpi_video_unregister_backlight function · 1b7f37e1
      Hans de Goede authored
      
      
      Add an acpi_video_unregister_backlight function, which only unregisters
      the backlight device, and leaves the acpi_notifier in place. Some acpi_vendor
      driver need this as they don't want the acpi_video# backlight device, but do
      need the acpi-video driver for hotkey handling.
      
      Chances are that this new acpi_video_unregister_backlight() is actually
      what existing acpi_vendor drivers have wanted all along. Currently acpi_vendor
      drivers which want to disable the acpi_video# backlight device, make 2 calls:
      
      acpi_video_dmi_promote_vendor();
      acpi_video_unregister();
      
      The intention here is to make things independent of when acpi_video_register()
      gets called. As acpi_video_register() will get called on acpi-video load time
      on non intel gfx machines, while it gets called on i915 load time on intel
      gfx machines.
      
      This leads to the following 2 interesting scenarios:
      
       a) intel gfx:
        1) acpi-video module gets loaded (as it is a dependency of acpi_vendor
           and i915)
        2) acpi-video does NOT call acpi_video_register()
        3) acpi_vendor loads (lets assume it loads before i915), calls
           acpi_video_dmi_promote_vendor(); which sets
           ACPI_VIDEO_BACKLIGHT_DMI_VENDOR
        4) calls acpi_video_unregister -> not registered, nop
        5) i915 loads, calls acpi_video_register
        6) acpi_video_register registers the acpi_notifier for the hotkeys,
           does NOT register a backlight device because of
           ACPI_VIDEO_BACKLIGHT_DMI_VENDOR
      
       b) non intel gfx
        1) acpi-video module gets loaded (as it is a dependency acpi_vendor)
        2) acpi-video calls acpi_video_register()
        3) acpi_video_register registers the acpi_notifier for the hotkeys,
           and a backlight device
        4) acpi_vendor loads, calls acpi_video_dmi_promote_vendor()
        5) calls acpi_video_unregister, this unregisters BOTH the acpi_notifier
           for the hotkeys AND the backlight device
      
      So here we have possibly the same acpi_vendor module, making the same calls,
      but with different results, in one cases acpi-video does handle hotkeys,
      in the other it does not.
      
      Note that the a) scenario turns into b) if we assume the i915 module loads
      before the vendor_acpi module, so we also have different behavior depending
      on module loading order!
      
      So as said I believe that quite a few existing acpi_vendor modules really
      always want the behavior of a), hence this patch adds a new
      acpi_video_unregister_backlight() which gives the behavior of a) independent
      of module loading order.

      ACPI / video: change acpi-video brightness_switch_enabled default to 0 · 886129a8
      Hans de Goede authored
      
      
      acpi-video is unique in that it not only generates brightness up/down
      keypresses, but also (sometimes) actively changes the brightness itself.
      
      This presents an inconsistent kernel interface to userspace, basically there
      are 2 different scenarios, depending on the laptop model:
      
       1) On some laptops a brightness up/down keypress means: show a brightness osd
       with the current brightness, iow it is a brightness has changed notification.
      
       2) Where as on (a lot of) other laptops it means a brightness up/down key was
       pressed, deal with it.
      
      Most of the desktop environments interpret any press as in scenario 2, and
      change the brightness up / down as a response to the key events, causing it
      to be changed twice, once by acpi-video and once by the DE.
      
      With the new default for video.use_native_backlight we will be moving even
      more laptops over to behaving as in scenario 2. Making the remaining laptops
      even more of a weird exception. Also note that it is hard to detect scenario
      1 properly in userspace, and AFAIK none of the DE-s deals with it.
      
      Therefor this commit changes the default of brightness_switch_enabled to 0
      making its behavior consistent with all the other backlight drivers.

       "A bunch of regression fixes this time.  They fix two regressions in

        ACPI EC driver, four cpufreq driver regressions and an unrelated bug
        in one of the drivers.  The regressions are recent or introduced in
        3.14.
      
        Specifics:
      
         - There are two bugs in the ACPI PNP core that cause errors to be
           returned if optional ACPI methods are not present.  After an ACPI
           core change made in 3.14 one of those errors leads to serial port
           suspend failures on some systems.  Fix from Rafael J Wysocki.
      
         - A recently added PNP quirk related to Intel chipsets intorduced a
           build error in unusual configurations (PNP without PCI).  Fix from
           Bjorn Helgaas.
      
         - An ACPI EC workaround related to system suspend on Samsung machines
           added in 3.14 introduced a race causing some valid EC events to be
           discarded.  Fix from Kieran Clancy.
      
         - The acpi-cpufreq driver fails to load on some systems after a 3.14
           commit related to APIC ID parsing that overlooked one corner case.
           Fix from Lan Tianyu.
      
         - Fix for a recently introduced build problem in the ppc-corenet
           cpufreq driver from Tim Gardner.
      
         - A recent cpufreq core change to ensure serialization of frequency
           transitions for drivers with a ->target_index() callback overlooked
           the fact that some of those drivers had been doing operations
           introduced by it into the core already by themselves.  That
           resulted in a mess in which the core and the drivers try to do the
           same thing and block each other which leads to deadlocks.  Fixes
