ACPI video: Don't export sysfs backlight interface if query _BCL fail
Currently the acpi video module export the backlight interface to sysfs also if acpi_video_device_lcd_query_levels() fails to read _BLC method (e.g. because the method is not available). In this case the userspace don't know which brightness level are supported and can't set a brightness level (echo return with: "write error: Invalid Argument"). This happend e.g. on a ASUS RF1 (correct supported by the asus-laptop module). The video module should not export the backlight interface if query _BLC fail, because you can't set anything from userspace and this make it useless. http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=8375Signed-off-by: Danny Kukawka <dkukawka@suse.de> Acked-by: Luming Yu <luming.yu@intel.com> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Len Brown <len.brown@intel.com>
