Lenovo Slim 7 16ARH7 is a machine with switchable graphics between AMD
and Nvidia, and the backlight can't be adjusted properly unless
acpi_backlight=native is passed. Although nvidia-wmi-backlight is
present and loaded, this doesn't work as expected at all.
For making it working as default, add the corresponding quirk entry
with a DMI matching "LENOVO" "82UX".

Toshiba Portégé R100 has both acpi_video and toshiba_acpi vendor
backlight driver working. But none of them gets activated as it has
a VGA with no kernel driver (Trident CyberBlade XP4m32).
The DMI strings are very generic ("Portable PC") so add a custom
callback function to check for Trident CyberBlade XP4m32 PCI device
before enabling the vendor backlight driver (better than acpi_video
as it has more brightness steps).

Like the Xiaomi Mi Pad 2 these 3 Lenovo x86 Android tablet models also
use a TI LP8557 backlight controller in direct I2C brightness register
control mode.
Add "vendor" quirks for these 3 models to disable the non-working
native / acpi_video backlight devices.

The Xiaomi Mi Pad 2 is currently listed under the:
"Models which should use the vendor backlight interface,
because of broken ACPI video backlight control." section.
But this is not 100% correct. The Xiaomi Mi Pad 2 is one of a set of
x86 tablets which shipped with Android as factory OS. These tablets
have a TI LP8557 backlight controller with its PWM input _not_
connected to the PMIC or chipset (LPSS) PWM output.
Instead the backlight can be controlled by configuring the LP8557
for direct control through its brightness I2C register and then
using the lp855x driver.
This setup means that neither i915's native or acpi_video backlight
control works, so a "vendor" quirk is added for these tablets to
disable both the native and acpi_video backlight devices, but these
devices do not use vendor control in the typical meaning of
vendor specific SMBIOS or ACPI calls being used.
This patch is a preparation patch for adding "vendor" quirks
for a couple more such tablet models.

after ~2012
There have been 2 separate reports now about a non working
"dell_backlight" device getting registered under /sys/class/backlight
1 report for a Raptor Lake based Dell and 1 report for a Meteor Lake
(development) platform.
On hw from the last 10 years dell-laptop will not register "dell_backlight"
because acpi_video_get_backlight_type() will return acpi_backlight_video
there if called before the GPU/kms driver loads. So it does not matter if
the GPU driver's native backlight is registered after dell-laptop loads.
But it seems that on the latest generation laptops the ACPI tables
no longer contain acpi_video backlight control support which causes
acpi_video_get_backlight_type() to return acpi_backlight_vendor causing
"dell_backlight" to get registered if the dell-laptop module is loaded
before the GPU/kms driver.
Vendor specific backlight control like the "dell_backlight" device is
only necessary on quite old hw (from before acpi_video backlight control
was introduced). Work around "dell_backlight" registering on very new
hw (where acpi_video backlight control seems to be no more) by making
acpi_video_get_backlight_type() return acpi_backlight_none instead
of acpi_backlight_vendor as final fallback when the ACPI tables have
support for Windows 8 or later (laptops from after ~2012).

Remove the acpi_backlight=video quirk for Lenovo ThinkPad W530.
This was intended to help users of the (unsupported) Nvidia binary driver,
but this has been reported to cause backlight control issues for users
who have the gfx configured in hybrid (dual-GPU) mode, so drop this.
The Nvidia binary driver should call acpi_video_register_backlight()
when necessary and this has been reported to Nvidia.
Until this is fixed Nvidia binary driver users can work around this by
passing "acpi_backlight=video" on the kernel commandline (with the latest
6.1.y or newer stable series, kernels < 6.1.y don't need this).

After the recent backlight changes acpi_video# backlight devices are only
registered when explicitly requested from the cmdline, by DMI quirk or by
the GPU driver.
This means that we no longer get false-positive backlight control support
advertised on desktop boards.
Remove the 3 DMI quirks for desktop boards where the false-positive issue
was fixed through quirks before. Note many more desktop boards were
affected but we never build a full quirk list for this.

The Lenovo ThinkPad W530 uses a nvidia k1000m GPU. When this gets used
together with one of the older nvidia binary driver series (the latest
series does not support it), then backlight control does not work.
This is caused by commit 3dbc80a3e4c5 ("ACPI: video: Make backlight
class device registration a separate step (v2)") combined with
commit 5aa9d943e9b6 ("ACPI: video: Don't enable fallback path for
creating ACPI backlight by default").
After these changes the acpi_video# backlight device is only registered
when requested by a GPU driver calling acpi_video_register_backlight()
which the nvidia binary driver does not do.
I realize that using the nvidia binary driver is not a supported use-case
and users can workaround this by adding acpi_backlight=video on the kernel
commandline, but the ThinkPad W530 is a popular model under Linux users,
so it seems worthwhile to add a quirk for this.
I will also email Nvidia asking them to make the driver call
acpi_video_register_backlight() when an internal LCD panel is detected.
So maybe the next maintenance release of the drivers will fix this...

On the Apple iMac14,1 and iMac14,2 all-in-ones (monitors with builtin "PC")
the connection between the GPU and the panel is seen by the GPU driver as
regular DP instead of eDP, causing the GPU driver to never call
acpi_video_register_backlight().
(GPU drivers only call acpi_video_register_backlight() when an internal
panel is detected, to avoid non working acpi_video# devices getting
registered on desktops which unfortunately is a real issue.)
Fix the missing acpi_video# backlight device on these all-in-ones by
adding a acpi_backlight=video DMI quirk, so that video.ko will
immediately register the backlight device instead of waiting for
an acpi_video_register_backlight() call.

Allow callers of __acpi_video_get_backlight_type() to pass a pointer
to a bool which will get set to false if the backlight-type comes from
the cmdline or a DMI quirk and set to true if auto-detection was used.
And make __acpi_video_get_backlight_type() non static so that it can
be called directly outside of video_detect.c .
While at it turn the acpi_video_get_backlight_type() and
acpi_video_backlight_use_native() wrappers into static inline functions
in include/acpi/video.h, so that we need to export one less symbol.

Multiple Ideapad Z570 variants need acpi_backlight=native to force native

does not work here.
The original DMI quirk matches on a product_name of "102434U" but other
variants may have different product_name-s such as e.g. "1024D9U".
Move to checking product_version instead as is more or less standard for

Some apple laptop models have an ACPI device with a HID of APP000B
and that device has an IO resource (so it does not describe the new
unsupported MMIO based gmux type), but there actually is no gmux
in the laptop at all.
The gmux_probe() function of the actual apple-gmux driver has code
to detect this, this code has been factored out into a new
apple_gmux_detect() helper in apple-gmux.h.
Use this new function to fix acpi_video_get_backlight_type() wrongly
returning apple_gmux as type on the following laptops:

The Asus U46E backlight tables have a set of interesting problems:
1. Its ACPI tables do make _OSI ("Windows 2012") checks, so
acpi_osi_is_win8() should return true.
But the tables have 2 sets of _OSI calls, one from the usual global
_INI method setting a global OSYS variable and a second set of _OSI
calls from a MSOS method and the MSOS method is the only one calling
_OSI ("Windows 2012").
The MSOS method only gets called in the following cases:
1. From some Asus specific WMI methods
2. From _DOD, which only runs after acpi_video_get_backlight_type()
has already been called by the i915 driver
3. From other ACPI video bus methods which never run (see below)
4. From some EC query callbacks
So when i915 calls acpi_video_get_backlight_type() MSOS has never run
and acpi_osi_is_win8() returns false, so acpi_video_get_backlight_type()
returns acpi_video as the desired backlight type, which causes
the intel_backlight device to not register.
2. _DOD effectively does this:
Return (Package (0x01)
{
0x0400
})
causing acpi_video_device_in_dod() to return false, which causes
the acpi_video backlight device to not register.
Leaving the user with no backlight device at all. Note that before 6.1.y
the i915 driver would register the intel_backlight device unconditionally
and since that then was the only backlight device userspace would use that.
Add a backlight=native DMI quirk for this special laptop to restore
the old (and working) behavior of the intel_backlight device registering.

The HP EliteBook 8460p predates Windows 8, so it defaults to using
acpi_video# for backlight control.
Starting with the 6.1.y kernels the native radeon_bl0 backlight is hidden
in this case instead of relying on userspace preferring acpi_video# over
native backlight devices.
It turns out that for the acpi_video# interface to work on
the HP EliteBook 8460p, the brightness needs to be set at least once
through the native interface, which now no longer is done breaking
backlight control.
The native interface however always works without problems, so add
a quirk to use native backlight on the EliteBook 8460p to fix this.

The apple-gmux driver only binds to old GMUX devices which have an
IORESOURCE_IO resource (using inb()/outb()) rather then memory-mapped
IO (IORESOURCE_MEM).
T2 MacBooks use the new style GMUX devices (with IORESOURCE_MEM access),
so these are not supported by the apple-gmux driver. This is not a problem
since they have working ACPI video backlight support.
But the apple_gmux_present() helper only checks if an ACPI device with
the "APP000B" HID is present, causing acpi_video_get_backlight_type()
to return acpi_backlight_apple_gmux disabling the acpi_video backlight
device.
Add a new apple_gmux_backlight_present() helper which checks that
the "APP000B" device actually is an old GMUX device with an IORESOURCE_IO
resource.
This fixes the acpi_video0 backlight no longer registering on T2 MacBooks.
Note people are working to add support for the new style GMUX to Linux:
https://github.com/kekrby/linux-t2/commits/wip/hybrid-graphics
Once this lands this patch should be reverted so that
acpi_video_get_backlight_type() also prefers the gmux on new style GMUX
MacBooks, but for now this is necessary to avoid regressing backlight
control on T2 Macs.

When available prefer native backlight control over vendor backlight
control.
Testing has shown that there are quite a few laptop models which rely
on native backlight control (they don't have ACPI video bus backlight
control) and on which acpi_osi_is_win8() returns false.
Currently __acpi_video_get_backlight_type() returns vendor on these
laptops, leading to an empty /sys/class/backlight.
As a workaround for this acpi_video_backlight_use_native() has been
temporarily changed to always return true.
This re-introduces the problem of having multiple backlight
devices under /sys/class/backlight for a single panel.
Change __acpi_video_get_backlight_type() to prefer native over vendor
when available. So that it returns native on these models.
And change acpi_video_backlight_use_native() back to only return
true when __acpi_video_get_backlight_type() returns native.

Simplify __acpi_video_get_backlight_type() removing a nested if which
makes the flow harder to follow.
This also results in having only 1 exit point with
return acpi_backlight_native instead of 2.
Note this drops the (video_caps & ACPI_VIDEO_BACKLIGHT) check from
the if (acpi_osi_is_win8() && native_available) return native path.
Windows 8's hardware certification requirements include that there must
be ACPI video bus backlight control, so the ACPI_VIDEO_BACKLIGHT check
is redundant.

According to: https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=202401
the Sony Vaio VPCEH3U1E quirk was added to disable the acpi_video0
backlight interface because that was not working, so that userspace
will pick the actually working native nv_backlight interface instead.
With the new kernel behavior of hiding native interfaces unless
acpi_video_get_backlight_type() returns native, the current
video_detect_force_vendor quirk will cause the working nv_backlight
interface will be disabled too.
Change the quirk to video_detect_force_native to get the desired
result of only registering the nv_backlight interface.
After this all currently remaining force_vendor quirks in
video_detect_dmi_table[] are there to prefer a vendor interface over
a non working ACPI video interface, add a comment to document this.

The GIGABYTE GB-BXBT-2807 DMI quirk was added by
commit 25417185e9b5 ("ACPI: video: Add DMI quirk for GIGABYTE
GB-BXBT-2807") which says the following in its commit message:
"The GIGABYTE GB-BXBT-2807 is a mini-PC which uses off the shelf
components, like an Intel GPU which is meant for mobile systems.
As such, it, by default, has a backlight controller exposed.
Unfortunately, the backlight controller only confuses userspace, which
sees the existence of a backlight device node and has the unrealistic
belief that there is actually a backlight there!
Add a DMI quirk to force the backlight off on this system."
So in essence this quirk was using a video_detect_force_vendor quirk
to disable backlight control. Now a days we have a specific "none"
backlight type for this. Change the quirk to video_detect_force_none
and group it together with the other force_none quirks.

IBM ThinkPad X40
System76 Starling Star1
and the following MacBook models are affected too:
Apple MacBook 2.1
Apple MacBook 4.1
Apple MacBook Pro 7.1
the list of affected Windows laptop models is likely just the top of
the iceberg. So for now lets undo the change to not register native
backlight class devices when __acpi_video_get_backlight_type() != native.
Since as part of the backlight-detect refactor the detection code now
relies on the GPU drivers calling acpi_video_backlight_use_native() to
learn that native backlight support is available we cannot just remove
the acpi_video_backlight_use_native() calls from the GPU drivers.
Instead modify acpi_video_backlight_use_native() to always return true
for now. This is meant as a temporary work-around, which will be removed
again when the heuristics from __acpi_video_get_backlight_type() have
been improved so that they will return native on affected models.

2 improvements for the Chromebook handling in
acpi_video_get_backlight_type():
1. Also check for the "GOOG000C" ACPI HID used on some models
2. Move the Chromebook check to above the ACPI-video check normally
Chromebooks don't have ACPI video backlight support, but when
flashed with upstream coreboot builds they may have ACPI video
backlight support, but native should still be used/preferred then.

Chromebooks don't have backlight in ACPI table, they suppose to use
native backlight in this case. Check presence of the CrOS embedded
controller ACPI device and prefer the native backlight if EC found.

Some Toshibas have a broken acpi-video interface for brightness control
and need a special firmware call on resume to turn the panel back on.
So far these have been using the disable_backlight_sysfs_if workaround
to deal with this.
The recent x86/acpi backlight refactoring has broken this workaround:
1. This workaround relies on acpi_video_get_backlight_type() returning
acpi_video so that the acpi_video code actually runs; and
2. this relies on the actual native GPU driver to offer the sysfs
backlight interface to userspace.
After the refactor this breaks since the native driver will no
longer register its backlight-device if acpi_video_get_backlight_type()
does not return native and making it return native breaks 1.
Keeping the acpi_video backlight handling on resume active, while not
using it to set the brightness, is necessary because it does a _BCM
call on resume which is necessary to turn the panel back on on resume.
Looking at the DSDT shows that this _BCM call results in a Toshiba
HCI_SET HCI_LCD_BRIGHTNESS call, which turns the panel back on.
This kind of special vendor specific handling really belongs in
the vendor specific acpi driver. An earlier patch in this series
modifies toshiba_acpi to make the necessary HCI_SET call on resume
on affected models.
With toshiba_acpi taking care of the HCI_SET call on resume,
the acpi_video code no longer needs to call _BCM on resume.
So instead of using the (now broken) disable_backlight_sysfs_if
workaround, simply setting acpi_backlight=native to disable
the broken apci-video interface is sufficient fix things now.
After this there are no more users of the disable_backlight_sysfs_if
flag and as discussed above the flag also no longer works as intended,
so remove the disable_backlight_sysfs_if flag entirely.

The video_detect_dmi_table[] uses an unusual indentation for
before the ".name = ..." named struct initializers.
Instead of being indented with an extra tab compared to
the previous line's '{' these are indented to with only
a single space to allow for long DMI_MATCH() lines without
wrapping.
But over time some entries did not event have the single space
indent in front of the ".name = ..." lines.
Make things consistent by using a single space indent for these
lines everywhere.

acpi_backlight=native is the default for these, but as the comment
explains the quirk was still necessary because even briefly registering
the acpi_video0 backlight; and then unregistering it once the native
driver showed up, was leading to issues.
After the "ACPI: video: Make backlight class device registration
a separate step" patch from earlier in this patch-series, we no
longer briefly register the acpi_video0 backlight on systems where
the native driver should be used.
So this is no longer an issue an the quirks are no longer needed.

acpi_video_set_dmi_backlight_type() is troublesome because it may end
up getting called after other backlight drivers have already called
acpi_video_get_backlight_type() resulting in the other drivers
already being registered even though they should not.
In case of the acpi_video backlight, acpi_video_set_dmi_backlight_type()
actually calls acpi_video_unregister_backlight() since that is often
probed earlier, leading to userspace seeing the acpi_video0 class
device being briefly available, leading to races in userspace where
udev probe-rules try to access the device and it is already gone.
All callers have been fixed to no longer call it, so remove
acpi_video_set_dmi_backlight_type() now.
This means we now also no longer need acpi_video_unregister_backlight()
for the remove acpi_video backlight after it was wrongly registered hack,
so remove that too.

Note no entries are dropped from the dmi_system_id table in asus-nb-wmi.c.
This is because the entries using the removed wmi_backlight_power flag

So the quirk_asus_x55u struct and the entries pointing to it cannot be

Move the backlight DMI quirks to acpi/video_detect.c, so that
the driver no longer needs to call acpi_video_set_dmi_backlight_type().
acpi_video_set_dmi_backlight_type() is troublesome because it may end up
getting called after other backlight drivers have already called
acpi_video_get_backlight_type() resulting in the other drivers
already being registered even though they should not.
Note that even though the DMI quirk table name was video_vendor_dmi_table,
5/6 quirks were actually quirks to use the GPU native backlight.
These 5 quirks also had a callback in their dmi_system_id entry which
disabled the acer-wmi vendor driver; and any DMI match resulted in:
acpi_video_set_dmi_backlight_type(acpi_backlight_vendor);
which disabled the acpi_video driver, so only the native driver was left.
The new entries for these 5/6 devices correctly marks these as needing
the native backlight driver.
Also note that other changes in this series change the native backlight
drivers to no longer unconditionally register their backlight. Instead
these drivers now do this check:
if (acpi_video_get_backlight_type(false) != acpi_backlight_native)
return 0; /* bail */
which without this patch would have broken these 5/6 "special" quirks.
Since I had to look at all the commits adding the quirks anyways, to make
sure that I understood the code correctly, I've also added links to
the various original bugzillas for these quirks to the new entries.

In case of toshiba_acpi there are no DMI quirks to move to
acpi/video_detect.c, but it also (ab)uses it for transflective
displays. Adding transflective display support to video_detect.c would
be quite involved. But luckily there are only 2 known models with
a transflective display, so we can just add DMI quirks for those.

On Apple laptops with an Apple GMUX using this for brightness control,
should take precedence of any other brightness control methods.
Add apple-gmux detection to acpi_video_get_backlight_type() using
the already existing apple_gmux_present() helper function.
This will allow removig the (ab)use of:
acpi_video_set_dmi_backlight_type(acpi_backlight_vendor);
Inside the apple-gmux driver.

On some new laptop designs a new Nvidia specific WMI interface is present
which gives info about panel brightness control and may allow controlling
the brightness through this interface when the embedded controller is used
for brightness control.
When this WMI interface is present and indicates that the EC is used,
then this interface should be used for brightness control.
Changes in v2:
- Use the new shared nvidia-wmi-ec-backlight.h header for the
WMI firmware API definitions
- ACPI_VIDEO can now be enabled on non X86 too,
adjust the Kconfig changes to match this.
Changes in v3:
- Use WMI_BRIGHTNESS_GUID define
