Matthew have a patch:
* http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/lenb/linux-acpi-2.6.git;a=commitdiff;h=74a365b3f354fafc537efa5867deb7a9fadbfe27
This patch do:
- ACPI video driver will not register if it check the DSDT have opregion table declare.
- i915_opregion will call acpi_video_register after it initialised the DIDL field in opregion.
That means acpi video driver will blocked when have opregion declare in
DSDT until i915 drm driver call acpi_video_register. The patch fixed
BKO#11259, but introduced a side effect: If there have Intel video chip
not supported by Intel drm driver, the acpi_video_register will never
called, then some machine have good acpi backlight interface
implementation will never have acpi brightness sysfs interface for
userland control. e.g. any Poulsbo netbook.
Matthew's comment to talk about the side effect: Intel IGD opregion and
GMA500
There have some machines declare opregion in DSDT but they also
implement the backlight control by EC in _BCM. Like: MSI poulsbo
netbook.
Before introduce the above patch to kernel, those machine's acpi
backlight control works fine. On current kernel, those machines
backlight control broken.
One function workable with old kernel but broken by new kernel, now.

Yes, Matthew's patch fix this issue.

Does it possible we direct remove the "select ACPI_VIDEO if ACPI" from
Kconfig but keep the acpi_video_register function call in stub poulsbo
driver?
Because acpi/video.h already handle the ACPI VIDEO config check:
#if (defined CONFIG_ACPI_VIDEO || defined CONFIG_ACPI_VIDEO_MODULE)
extern int acpi_video_register(void);
extern void acpi_video_unregister(void);
extern int acpi_video_get_edid(struct acpi_device *device, int type,
int device_id, void **edid);
#else
static inline int acpi_video_register(void) { return 0; }
static inline void acpi_video_unregister(void) { return; }
Thank's a lot!
