Screen brightness can only be changed once on some HP laptops.

Vendor identified the root cause as Linux doesn't invoke _PS0 at boot
for all ACPI devices:
    Scope (\_SB.PC00.GFX0)
    {
        Scope (DD1F)
        {
            Method (_PS0, 0, Serialized)  // _PS0: Power State 0
            {
                If (CondRefOf (\_SB.PC00.LPCB.EC0.SSBC))
                {
                    \_SB.PC00.LPCB.EC0.SSBC ()
                }
            }
	    ...
	}
	...
    }

_PS0 doesn't get invoked for all ACPI devices because of commit
7cd8407d53ef ("ACPI / PM: Do not execute _PS0 for devices without _PSC
during initialization").

For now explicitly call _PS0 for ACPI video to workaround the issue.

I'll file a bugzilla and attach a full acpidump there.

Or put all ACPI devices to D0 at boot?
According to the BIOS folks that's what Windows does.
This way we can drop acpi_device_fix_up_power* helpers altogether.

Intel GFX.

AFAIK AMD based laptops also require this fixup too.

No. This happens to mux-less and dGPU-less laptops.

intel_backlight.

Sure.
Can putting all devices to D0 be considered too? It's a better
solution for the long wrong.

Doing that will leave any devices for which we lack a driver at D0 for ever,
so that IMHO is not a good idea.

I guess calling acpi_device_fix_up_power_extended(device) from the
ACPI-video code, so that the connector sub-objects are put in D0 is
somewhat ok. Although I would prefer to see you first try to do
the same thing from the i915 driver instead.

If we do end up doing this from the acpi-video code please add
a comment above the call why this is done; and as Rafael mentioned
the commit msg needs to better explain things too.

Regards,

Hans

I was told by vendor that the same design is used on AMD based laptops too.
So I think putting this in ACPI-video is a better approach.
