ACPI: Fix selecting wrong ACPI fwnode for the iGPU on some Dell laptops
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
commit f64e427 upstream.

The Dell Latitude E6430 both with and without the optional NVidia dGPU
has a bug in its ACPI tables which is causing Linux to assign the wrong
ACPI fwnode / companion to the pci_device for the i915 iGPU.

Specifically under the PCI root bridge there are these 2 ACPI Device()s :

 Scope (_SB.PCI0)
 {
     Device (GFX0)
     {
         Name (_ADR, 0x00020000)  // _ADR: Address
     }

     ...

     Device (VID)
     {
         Name (_ADR, 0x00020000)  // _ADR: Address
         ...

         Method (_DOS, 1, NotSerialized)  // _DOS: Disable Output Switching
         {
             VDP8 = Arg0
             VDP1 (One, VDP8)
         }

         Method (_DOD, 0, NotSerialized)  // _DOD: Display Output Devices
         {
             ...
         }
         ...
     }
 }

The non-functional GFX0 ACPI device is a problem, because this gets
returned as ACPI companion-device by acpi_find_child_device() for the iGPU.

This is a long standing problem and the i915 driver does use the ACPI
companion for some things, but works fine without it.

However since commit 63f534b ("ACPI: PCI: Rework acpi_get_pci_dev()")
acpi_get_pci_dev() relies on the physical-node pointer in the acpi_device
and that is set on the wrong acpi_device because of the wrong
acpi_find_child_device() return. This breaks the ACPI video code,
leading to non working backlight control in some cases.

Add a type.backlight flag, mark ACPI video bus devices with this and make
find_child_checks() return a higher score for children with this flag set,
so that it picks the right companion-device.
