So this _PS0 which seems to be the one which needs to run here,
is not the _PS0 for the GFX0 ACPI device, but rather for a child ACPI device-node which describes the connector (assumed based on the small part of quoted DSDT, the actual definition of the DD1F device-node is missing).
Having a _PS0 method on a connector object is really weird IMHO. But if we need to invoke such a _PS0 method then IMHO that really should be done in the drm/kms driver. E.g. at least the i915 code already contains code to map the ACPI connector objects to the drm_connector objects, so it should be relatively easily to make that try and do a power-transition to D0 when enabling the connector.
Also can you provide some more info on the hw on which this is being seen:
1. What GPU(s) is/are being used
2. If there is a mux for hybrid gfx in which mode is the mux set ?
3. Wjich method is used to control the brightness (which backlight-class-devices show up under /sys/class/backlight) ?
And can you add this info to the commit msg for the next version of the patch ?

Hans
