On many models this is the only reliable method for controlling the backlight. This series adds initial support for the gmux device, along with anciallary support for disabling apple_bl when the gmux device is detected. Initially only backlight control is supported. Changes since v2: - Add prerequisite patch for apple_bl to support disabling this backlight when a gmux backlight device is present. - Unregister acpi_video when a gmux backlight device is present.
