Since we now support controlling panel backlights through DPCD using both the standard VESA interface, and Intel's proprietary HDR backlight interface, we should allow the user to be able to explicitly choose between one or the other in the event that we're wrong about panels reliably reporting support for the Intel HDR interface. So, this commit adds support for this by introducing two new enable_dpcd_backlight options: 2 which forces i915 to only probe for the VESA interface, and 3 which forces i915 to only probe for the Intel backlight interface (might be useful if we find panels in the wild that report the VESA interface in their VBT, but actually only support the Intel backlight interface). v3: * Rebase Signed-off-by: Lyude Paul <lyude@redhat.com> Reviewed-by: Jani Nikula <jani.nikula@intel.com> Cc: thaytan@noraisin.net Cc: Vasily Khoruzhick <anarsoul@gmail.com> Link: https://patchwork.freedesktop.org/patch/msgid/20210114221709.2261452-5-lyude@redhat.com
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.
