From a2ed70d0ecb11b7eb3ff14ed897cd0995c86651d Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Hans de Goede Date: Sat, 4 Jun 2022 16:18:05 +0200 Subject: platform/x86: toshiba_acpi: Stop using acpi_video_set_dmi_backlight_type() acpi_video_set_dmi_backlight_type() is troublesome because it may end up getting called after other backlight drivers have already called acpi_video_get_backlight_type() resulting in the other drivers already being registered even though they should not. In case of the acpi_video backlight, acpi_video_set_dmi_backlight_type() actually calls acpi_video_unregister_backlight() since that is often probed earlier, leading to userspace seeing the acpi_video0 class device being briefly available, leading to races in userspace where udev probe-rules try to access the device and it is already gone. In case of toshiba_acpi there are no DMI quirks to move to acpi/video_detect.c, but it also (ab)uses it for transflective displays. Adding transflective display support to video_detect.c would be quite involved. But luckily there are only 2 known models with a transflective display, so we can just add DMI quirks for those.
