From 24867516f06dabedef3be7eea0ef0846b91538bc Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Mario Limonciello Date: Tue, 23 Aug 2022 13:51:31 -0500 Subject: ACPI: OSI: Remove Linux-Dell-Video _OSI string This string was introduced because drivers for NVIDIA hardware had bugs supporting RTD3 in the past. Before proprietary NVIDIA driver started to support RTD3, Ubuntu had had a mechanism for switching PRIME on and off, though it had required to logout/login to make the library switch happen. When the PRIME had been off, the mechanism had unloaded the NVIDIA driver and put the device into D3cold, but the GPU had never come back to D0 again which is why ODMs used the _OSI to expose an old _DSM method to switch the power on/off. That has been fixed by commit 5775b843a619 ("PCI: Restore config space on runtime resume despite being unbound"). so vendors shouldn't be using this string to modify ASL any more.
