Before this commit, the following would happen:
a) acpi_video_get_backlight_type() gets called
b) acpi_video_get_backlight_type() calls acpi_video_init_backlight_type()
c) acpi_video_init_backlight_type() locks its function static init_mutex
d) acpi_video_init_backlight_type() calls backlight_register_notifier()
e) backlight_register_notifier() takes its notifier-chain lock
And when the backlight notifier chain gets called we've:
1) blocking_notifier_call_chain() gets called
2) blocking_notifier_call_chain() takes the notifier-chain lock
3) blocking_notifier_call_chain() calls acpi_video_backlight_notify()
4) acpi_video_backlight_notify() calls acpi_video_get_backlight_type()
5) acpi_video_get_backlight_type() calls acpi_video_init_backlight_type()
6) acpi_video_init_backlight_type() locks its function static init_mutex
So in the first call sequence we have:
a) init_mutex gets locked
b) notifier-chain gets locked
and in the second call sequence we have:
1) notifier-chain gets locked
2) init_mutex gets locked
And we've a circular locking dependency. This specific locking dependency
is fixable without using the big hammer otherwise known as a workqueue,
but further analysis shows a similar problem with the backlight notifier
chain lock vs register_count_mutex from drivers/acpi/acpi_video.c,
and fixing that becomes problematic.
So this commit simply fixes this with the big hammer, performance
wise this is a non issue as we expect the work to get scheduled
exactly zero or one times during normal system use.

Currently we have 2 kernel commandline options + dmi-quirks in 3 places all
interacting (in interesting ways) to select which which backlight interface
to use. On the commandline we've acpi_backlight=[video|vendor] and
video.use_native_backlight=[0|1]. DMI quirks we have in
acpi/video-detect.c, acpi/video.c and drivers/platform/x86/*.c .
This commit is the first step to cleaning this up, replacing the 2 cmdline
options with just acpi_backlight=[video|vendor|native|none], and adds a
new API to video_detect.c to reflect this.
Follow up commits will also move other related code, like unregistering the
acpi_video backlight interface if it was registered before other drivers
which take priority over it are loaded, to video_detect.c where this
logic really belongs.

This is a preparation patch for the backlight interface selection logic
cleanup, there are 2 reasons to not always build the video_detect code
into the kernel:
1) In order for the video_detect.c to also deal with / select native
backlight interfaces on win8 systems, instead of doing this in video.c
where it does not belong, video_detect.c needs to call into the backlight
class code. Which cannot be done if it is builtin and the blacklight class
is not.
2) Currently all the platform/x86 drivers which have quirks to prefer
the vendor driver over acpi-video call acpi_video_unregister_backlight()
to remove the acpi-video backlight interface, this logic really belongs
in video_detect.c, which will cause video_detect.c to depend on symbols of
video.c and video.c already depends on video_detect.c symbols, so they
really need to be a single module.
Note that this commits make 2 changes so as to maintain 100% kernel
commandline compatibility:
1) The __setup call for the acpi_backlight= handling is moved to
acpi/util.c as __setup may only be used by code which is alwasy builtin
2) video.c is renamed to acpi_video.c so that it can be combined with
video_detect.c into video.ko
This commit also makes changes to drivers/platform/x86/Kconfig to ensure
that drivers which use acpi_video_backlight_support() from video_detect.c,
will not be built-in when acpi_video is not built in. This also changes
some "select" uses to "depends on" to avoid dependency loops.

The Lenovo Ideapad Z570 (which is an Acer in disguise like some other Ideapads)
has a broken acpi_video interface, this was fixed in commmit a11d342fb8
("ACPI / video: force vendor backlight on Lenovo Ideapad Z570").
Which stops acpi_video from registering a backlight interface, but this is
only a partial fix, because for people who have the ideapad-laptop module
installed that module will now register a backlight interface, which also
does not work, so we need to use the native intel_backlight interface.
The Lenovo Ideapad 570 is a pre-win8 laptop / too old for the acpi-video code
to automatically prefer the native backlight interface, so add a quirk for it.
This commit also removes the previous incomplete fix.

Some system's ACPI video backlight control interface is broken and the
native backlight control interface should be used by default. This patch
sets the use_native_backlight parameter to true for those systems so
that video backlight control interface will not be created. For detailed
models that are added here, reference the following list.
Note that the user specified kernel cmdline option will always have the
highest priority, i.e. if use_native_backlight=0 is specified and the
system is in the DMI table, the video module will not skip registering
backlight interface for it.

On the Yoga 13 the backlight control doesn't work via ACPI. (And doesn't
work either with the low-level platform driver ideapad_laptop; but
works correctly via the intel video driver). This patch hence adds the
Yoga 13 to the ACPI video detect blacklist, to make sure the broken ACPI
backlight device is never exposed to userspace.
Note that this appears unrelated to the Windows 8 backlight issues tracked
here:
https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=51231https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=60682
The Yoga's ACPI backlight controls work neither with nor without
acpi_osi="!Windows 2012" on the kernel command line. It appears that
backlight control via the EC simply is not available at all, regardless
whether done via ACPI or via the vendor driver.

According to Matthew Garrett, "Windows 8 leaves backlight control up
to individual graphics drivers rather than making ACPI calls itself.
There's plenty of evidence to suggest that the Intel driver for
Windows [8] doesn't use the ACPI interface, including the fact that
it's broken on a bunch of machines when the OS claims to support
Windows 8. The simplest thing to do appears to be to disable the
ACPI backlight interface on these systems".
So for Win8 systems, if there is native backlight control interface
registered by GPU driver, ACPI video does not need to register its own.
Since there are systems that don't work well with this approach, a
parameter for video module named use_native_backlight is introduced and
has the value of false by default. For users who have a broken ACPI
video backlight interface, video.use_native_backlight=1 is needed in
kernel cmdline.

We attempted to address a regression introduced by commit a57f7f9
(ACPICA: Add Windows8/Server2012 string for _OSI method.) after which
ACPI video backlight support doesn't work on a number of systems,
because the relevant AML methods in the ACPI tables in their BIOSes
become useless after the BIOS has been told that the OS is compatible
with Windows 8. That problem is tracked by the bug entry at:
https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=51231
Commit 8c5bd7a (ACPI / video / i915: No ACPI backlight if firmware
expects Windows 8) introduced for this purpose essentially prevented
the ACPI backlight support from being used if the BIOS had been told
that the OS was compatible with Windows 8 and the i915 driver was
loaded, in which case the backlight would always be handled by i915.
Unfortunately, however, that turned out to cause problems with
backlight to appear on multiple systems with symptoms indicating that
i915 was unable to control the backlight on those systems as
expected.
For this reason, revert commit 8c5bd7a, but leave the function
acpi_video_backlight_quirks() introduced by it, because another
commit on top of it uses that function.

Windows [8] doesn't use the ACPI interface, including the fact that
it's broken on a bunch of machines when the OS claims to support
Windows 8. The simplest thing to do appears to be to disable the
ACPI backlight interface on these systems".
There's a problem with that approach, however, because simply
avoiding to register the ACPI backlight interface if the firmware
calls _OSI for Windows 8 may not work in the following situations:
(1) The ACPI backlight interface actually works on the given system
and the i915 driver is not loaded (e.g. another graphics driver
is used).
(2) The ACPI backlight interface doesn't work on the given system,
but there is a vendor platform driver that will register its
own, equally broken, backlight interface if not prevented from
doing so by the ACPI subsystem.
Therefore we need to allow the ACPI backlight interface to be
registered until the i915 driver is loaded which then will unregister
it if the firmware has called _OSI for Windows 8 (or will register
the ACPI video driver without backlight support if not already
present).
For this reason, introduce an alternative function for registering
ACPI video, acpi_video_register_with_quirks(), that will check
whether or not the ACPI video driver has already been registered
and whether or not the backlight Windows 8 quirk has to be applied.
If the quirk has to be applied, it will block the ACPI backlight
support and either unregister the backlight interface if the ACPI
video driver has already been registered, or register the ACPI
video driver without the backlight interface otherwise. Make
the i915 driver use acpi_video_register_with_quirks() instead of
acpi_video_register() in i915_driver_load().
This change is based on earlier patches from Matthew Garrett,
Chun-Yi Lee and Seth Forshee and includes a fix from Aaron Lu's.

This patch reverts one hunk of 677bd810ee
"ACPI video: remove output switching control", namely the removal of

This is needed on some Fujitsu Laptops (at least S7110, P8010) for the

posting methods are available, and after removal of output switching,
none of the caps triggers, which prevents the backlight search from

Remove the ACPI video output switching control as it never works.
With the patch applied,
ACPI video driver still catches the video output notification,
but it does nothing but raises the notification to userspace.

The existing interface only has a pre-order callback. This change
adds an additional parameter for a post-order callback which will
be more useful for bus scans. ACPICA BZ 779.
Also update the external calls to acpi_walk_namespace.

Currently a video bus device must (beside other criteria) define _DOD and
_DOS methods to be considered a video device.
Some broken BIOSes prevented working backlight control by only defining both
for one (non-existing bus) and only _DOD for the rest. With this patch in
place the other bus definitions were considered too and backlight control
started to work again.

Linux/ACPI core files using internal.h all PREFIX "ACPI: ",
however, not all ACPI drivers use/want it -- and they
should not have to #undef PREFIX to define their own.
Add GPL commment to internal.h while we are there.
This does not change any actual console output,
asside from a whitespace fix.

If an ACPI graphics device supports backlight brightness functions (cmp. with
latest ACPI spec Appendix B), let the ACPI video driver control backlight and
switch backlight control off in vendor specific ACPI drivers (asus_acpi,
thinkpad_acpi, eeepc, fujitsu_laptop, msi_laptop, sony_laptop, acer-wmi).
Currently it is possible to load above drivers and let both poke on the
brightness HW registers, the video and vendor specific ACPI drivers -> bad.
This patch provides the basic support to check for BIOS capabilities before
driver loading time. Driver specific modifications are in separate follow up
patches.
"acpi_backlight=vendor"
Prever vendor driver over ACPI driver for backlight.
"acpi_backlight=video" (default)
Prever ACPI driver over vendor driver for backlight.
