[PATCH v3] ACPI / bus: Introduce a list of ids for "always present" devices

[PATCH v3] ACPI / bus: Introduce a list of ids for "always present" devices

[Hans de Goede]

Several cherrytrail devices (all of which ship with windows 10) hide the
lpss pwm controller in ACPI, typically the _STA method looks like this:

    Method (_STA, 0, NotSerialized)  // _STA: Status
    {
        If (OSID == One)
        {
            Return (Zero)
        }

        Return (0x0F)
    }

Where OSID is some dark magic seen in all cherrytrail ACPI tables making
the machine behave differently depending on which OS it *thinks* it is
booting, this gets set in a number of ways which we cannot control, on
some newer machines it simple hardcoded to "One" aka win10.

This causes the PWM controller to get hidden, which means Linux cannot
control the backlight level on cht based tablets / laptops.

Since loading the driver for this does no harm (the only in kernel user
of it is the i915 driver, which will only use it when it needs it), this
commit makes acpi_bus_get_status() always set status to ACPI_STA_DEFAULT
for the 80862288 device, fixing the lack of backlight control.

Changes in v2:
-Use pr_debug instead of ACPI_DEBUG_PRINT
Changes in v3:
-Un-inline acpi_set_device_status and do the always_present_device_ids
 table check inside the un-inlined version of it

Would it be a viable alternative to respond differently to _OSI queries
for these devices by amending acpi_osi_dmi_table[] in drivers/acpi/osi.c?

In a lot of places in drivers/acpi/, dev_warn(&adev->dev, ...) is used.

Otherwise LGTM.

Thanks,

Nope, _OSI influences OSYS not OSID, OSID is some quite bad Cherry Trail
hack where the BIOS behaves differently based on whether it thinks the
OS it is booting is going to be Android or Windows and there is nothing
one can do to influence OSID (other then hardcoding special handling
of that variable name in ACPICA I guess).

But even if we could influence OSID we really don't want to, for all
the same reasons our ACPI implementation always claims to be the
latest windows.

Rafael asked me to use pr_debug here. But I agree that maybe always
logging something when this trigger might be a good idea, although
warning is too high a loglevel IMHO. So I would got with dev_info.

Rafael, what is your take on this ?

Hans

Sorry for not being clear, I just meant that existing code seems to
prefer the dev_*() macros to report device-specific stuff, I wasn't
referring to the severity level.

Thanks,

Lukas
