Subject: [PATCH 6.1 44/46] platform/x86: nvidia-wmi-ec-backlight: Add force module parameter
Date: Thu, 23 Feb 2023 14:06:51 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20230223130433.646965185@linuxfoundation.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20230223130431.553657459@linuxfoundation.org>
From: Hans de Goede <hdegoede@redhat.com>
commit 0d9bdd8a550170306c2021b8d6766c5343b870c2 upstream.
On some Lenovo Legion models, the backlight might be driven by either
one of nvidia_wmi_ec_backlight or amdgpu_bl0 at different times.
When the Nvidia WMI EC backlight interface reports the backlight is
controlled by the EC, the current backlight handling only registers
nvidia_wmi_ec_backlight (and registers no other backlight interfaces).
This hides (never registers) the amdgpu_bl0 interface, where as prior
to 6.1.4 users would have both nvidia_wmi_ec_backlight and amdgpu_bl0
and could work around things in userspace.
Add a force module parameter which can be used with acpi_backlight=native
to restore the old behavior as a workound (for now) by passing:
"acpi_backlight=native nvidia-wmi-ec-backlight.force=1"
Fixes: 8d0ca287fd8c ("platform/x86: nvidia-wmi-ec-backlight: Use acpi_video_get_backlight_type()")
