Subject: [PATCH] ACPI/backlight: Force backlight native for Clevo NL5xRU and NL5xNU
Date: Tue, 15 Mar 2022 20:02:28 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20220315190228.1503866-2-wse@tuxedocomputers.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20220315190228.1503866-1-wse@tuxedocomputers.com>
Clevo NL5xRU and NL5xNU/TUXEDO Aura 15 Gen1 and Gen2 have both a working
native and video interface. However the default detection mechanism first
registers the video interface before unregistering it again and switching
to the native interface during boot. This results in a dangling SBIOS
request for backlight change for some reason, causing the backlight to
switch to ~2% once per boot on the first power cord connect or disconnect
event. Setting the native interface explicitly circumvents this buggy
behaviour by avoiding the unregistering process.
