Subject: Re: [PATCH 2/2] ACPI / video / i915: Remove ACPI backlight if
 firmware expects Windows 8

That depends on how Windows 8 works. If Windows 8 policy is handled by
the GPU drivers then it belongs in i915. If it's handled by the ACPI
code then it belongs in the ACPI code. But I have no way of determining
that, whereas you work for a company that produces a Windows 8 video
driver…
