From 2c62333a408f5badd2d2ffd7177f95deeccc5ca4 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Aaron Lu <aaron.lu@intel.com> Date: Wed, 6 Nov 2013 09:07:10 +0800 Subject: [PATCH] ACPI / video: Quirk initial backlight level 0 Some firmware doesn't initialize initial backlight level to a proper value and _BQC will return 0 on first time evaluation. We used to be able to detect such incorrect value with our code logic, as value 0 normally isn't a valid value in _BCL. But with the introduction of Win8, firmware begins to fill _BCL with values from 0 to 100, now 0 becomes a valid value but that value will make user's screen black. This patch test initial _BQC for value 0, if such a value is returned, do not use it.
