[PATCH 00/14] Various backlight fixes for Fedora-3.15 kernel
by Hans de Goede
Hi All,
I've a bunch of backlight handling fixes which for various reasons did not
make it upstream for 3.15, which I would like to carry in the Fedora kernel
package for now.
[PATCH 01/14] thinkpad_acpi: Add mappings for F9 - F12 hotkeys on
-Not a backlight fix, but a simple input fix, fixing some keys not working on
the latest thinkpads. Reviewed and acked upstream, waiting on the upstream
drivers/platform/x86 maintainer.
[PATCH 02/14] samsung-laptop: Add broken-acpi-video quirk for
-https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=861573
-Not send upstream yet, waiting for the reporter to get back to me that it
actually fixes things, already in the Fedora 3.14 kernels
[PATCH 03/14] ideapad-laptop: Blacklist rfkill control on the Lenovo
-Created and tested myself on a laptop of a friend
-Waiting on the upstream drivers/platform/x86 maintainer
[PATCH 04/14] asus-wmi: Add a no backlight quirk
[PATCH 05/14] eeepc-wmi: Add no backlight quirk for Asus H87I-PLUS
-https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1097436
-Waiting on the upstream drivers/platform/x86 maintainer
[PATCH 06/14] acpi-video: Don't register acpi_video_resume notifier
[PATCH 07/14] acpi-video: Add an acpi_video_unregister_backlight
[PATCH 08/14] acer-wmi: Switch to acpi_video_unregister_backlight
[PATCH 09/14] acer-wmi: Add Aspire 5741 to video_vendor_dmi_table
-https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=35622
-https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1012674
-Queued upstream for addition to 3.16, likely fixes a bunch of other Acer
models too
[PATCH 10/14] nouveau: Don't check acpi_video_backlight_support()
[PATCH 11/14] backlight: Add backlight device (un)registration
[PATCH 12/14] acpi-video: Unregister the backlight device if a raw device shows up
[PATCH 13/14] acpi-video: Add use native backlight quirk for the ThinkPad W530
-https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1093171
-Slightly adventurous, but only comes into play when using
video.use_native_backlight=1 on the commandline, or for models which do so
by a dmi quirk
-Likely this set + video.use_native_backlight=1 will be needed on a whole
bunch of recent laptops with nvidia or ati gfx. Already got confirmation on
the upstream list that this is also needed for some ati equipped laptops too.
-Queued upstream for addition to 3.16
[PATCH 14/14] acpi-video: Add use_native_backlight quirk for HP ProBook 4540s
-https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1025690
-Want to add to Fedora kernels and ask the user to test before sending upstream
-Nothing special really, just another laptop needing video.use_native_backlight=1
Please let me know if there are any objections against me adding this set
the Fedora 3.15 kernel pkg. If you don't object an ack would be nice too :)
If no objections are received I'llbe adding this set to the Fedora kernels
in a day or two.
Regards,
Hans

3.16 merge window open
by Josh Boyer
Hi All,
Linus has opened the 3.16 merge window but 3.15 is not released yet.
We're at 3.15-rc8 (will be built today), and he's running the 3.16
merge window in parallel. Rawhide will track the 3.15 release until
it's final and we'll proceed to the 3.16 merge window after that.
Just an FYI.
