Subject: [PATCH v2 3/3] ACPI / video: Do not register backlight if win8 and native interface exists
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 will not register its own. For
users who prefer to keep ACPI video's backlight interface, the existing
kernel cmdline option acpi_backlight=video can be used.
This patch is an evolution from previous work done by Matthew Garrett,
Chun-Yi Lee, Seth Forshee and Rafael J. Wysocki.
