Subject: [PATCH 4.19 176/205] drm/amdgpu: Suppress keypresses from ACPI_VIDEO events

4.19-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Lyude Paul <lyude@...hat.com>

commit 582f58de36834096a91cc1de2540c2f7269f850d upstream.

Currently we return NOTIFY_DONE for any event which we don't think is
ours. However, many laptops will send more then just an ATIF event and
will also send an ACPI_VIDEO_NOTIFY_PROBE event as well. Since we don't
check for this, we return NOTIFY_DONE which causes a keypress for the
ACPI event to be propogated to userspace. This is the equivalent of
someone pressing the display key on a laptop every time there's a
hotplug event.

So, check for ACPI_VIDEO_NOTIFY_PROBE events and suppress keypresses
from them.
