Hans de Goede e6b3086fdd ACPI: video: Add backlight=native DMI quirk for Asus U46E
The Asus U46E backlight tables have a set of interesting problems:

1. Its ACPI tables do make _OSI ("Windows 2012") checks, so
   acpi_osi_is_win8() should return true.

   But the tables have 2 sets of _OSI calls, one from the usual global
   _INI method setting a global OSYS variable and a second set of _OSI
   calls from a MSOS method and the MSOS method is the only one calling
   _OSI ("Windows 2012").

   The MSOS method only gets called in the following cases:
   1. From some Asus specific WMI methods
   2. From _DOD, which only runs after acpi_video_get_backlight_type()
      has already been called by the i915 driver
   3. From other ACPI video bus methods which never run (see below)
   4. From some EC query callbacks

   So when i915 calls acpi_video_get_backlight_type() MSOS has never run
   and acpi_osi_is_win8() returns false, so acpi_video_get_backlight_type()
   returns acpi_video as the desired backlight type, which causes
   the intel_backlight device to not register.

2. _DOD effectively does this:

                    Return (Package (0x01)
                    {
                        0x0400
                    })

   causing acpi_video_device_in_dod() to return false, which causes
   the acpi_video backlight device to not register.

Leaving the user with no backlight device at all. Note that before 6.1.y
the i915 driver would register the intel_backlight device unconditionally
and since that then was the only backlight device userspace would use that.

Add a backlight=native DMI quirk for this special laptop to restore
the old (and working) behavior of the intel_backlight device registering.

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
