similar to: backlight support

This series fixes some issues with nouveau's backlight support that were causing kernel panics on module reloads, specifically on systems with nouveau handling the backlight of one of the displays. While we're at it, let's cleanup nouveau_backlight.c as well Lyude Paul (5): drm/nouveau: Check backlight IDs are >= 0, not > 0 drm/nouveau: Move backlight device into

The nouveau code used to call drm_fb_helper_initial_config() from nouveau_fbcon_init() before calling drm_dev_register(). This would probe all connectors so that drm_connector->status could be used during backlight registration which runs from nouveau_connector_late_register(). After commit 4a16dd9d18a0 ("drm/nouveau/kms: switch to drm fbdev helpers") the fbdev emulation code, which

Patches 1-5 are Reviewed-by: Karol Herbst <kherbst at redhat.com> I think it might be worth to test those patches on a system without any backlight devices just to verify we don't break things, but the code looked good already, so maybe we don't really need to test.

Currently, every backlight interface created by Nouveau uses the same name, nv_backlight. This leads to a sysfs warning as it tries to create an already existing folder. This patch adds a incremented number to the name, but keeps the initial name as nv_backlight, to avoid possibly breaking userspace; the second interface will be named nv_backlight1, and so on.

Several nvidia-based systems don't support backlight control via the standard ACPI control mechanisms. Instead, it's necessary for the driver to modify the backlight control registers directly. This patch adds support for determining whether the registers appear to be in use, and if so registers a kernel backlight device to control them. The backlight can then be controlled via

Backlights controlled by i915.ko and only associated with its connectors and also only associated with the intel_drmfb fbcon, controlled by i915.ko. In this situation, we already handle adjusting the backlight when the fbcon is blanked/unblanked and do not require backlight trying to do the same. Attempting to register with the fbdev as a client causes lockdep to warn about a dependency cycle: [
