From 0b9f7d93ca6109048a4eb06332b666b6e29df4fe Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Aaron Lu Date: Mon, 7 Jul 2014 15:43:51 +0800 Subject: [PATCH] ACPI / i915: ignore firmware requests for backlight change Some Thinkpad laptops' firmware will initiate a backlight level change request through operation region on the events of AC plug/unplug, but since we are not using firmware's interface to do the backlight setting on these affected laptops, we do not want the firmware to use some arbitrary value from its ASL variable to set the backlight level on AC plug/unplug either.
