Since nobody is replying I poked around a bit myself.  The one commit
that looks somewhat relevant in 3.14-rc1 seems to be:

commit c91c9f32843a1b433de5a1ead4789a6bc8d3d914
Author: Jani Nikula <jani.nikula@intel.com>
Date:   Fri Nov 8 16:48:55 2013 +0200

    drm/i915: make asle notifications update backlight on all connectors

That doesn't apply cleanly on 3.13 because of the other reworks that
went in first, so I came up with the patch below.  It seems to fix it
for my machine, but I'm waiting for confirmation from the original bug
reporter still.  Maybe this will elicit some comments?

Yeah I think it looks reasonable, I was waiting for Jani to get back
since I think he's thought about this more.

Fundamentally, mapping from an OpRegion connector to a drm connector is
what we need, and your bits look a little closer to that than the
current code.

This makes perfect sense. The problem with that commit is that the ACPI
handler part assumes the output with backlight is on pipe A, which may
not be the case. Particularly when booted in the dock.

I presume this can be "fixed" by disabling/enabling the outputs with
xrandr after undocking. Also, if you disable the ACPI video backlight
handling, userspace should use the native backlight interface
(intel_backlight) which is unaffected. Neither of these is the real fix,
of course.

This is the right fix, but obviously we didn't take your scenario into
account at the time (as the commit message still thinks this would only
affect baytrail).

Yup, see comments below. ;)

This is not correct because in v3.13 dev_priv->backlight is still driver
global, not per connector. This means that if you have at least one
connector with backlight control, the backlight is attempted to change
on all connectors. In your case, I'm not sure if it leads to anything
more than extra adjusting of the same backlight.

If you move the 'bool present' field to intel_connector or intel_panel,
I think this is all right.

Jani.

Well, empirically it leads to the backlight actually changing after
undocking my machine whereas without it, it doesn't.  So maybe by
changing it globally, it is hitting the connector that does have
backlight control.

Anyway, I'm not arguing my patch is correct.  Just that it does do
_something_ to make the backlight work :).

That sounds like more of an invasive change.  I could poke at it, but
I'm not sure it would be suitable for e.g. 3.13.y stable.  Thoughts on
that?  Admittedly it is a somewhat minor problem, so if it's not
easily stable material, I don't think anyone is going to lose sleep
over it.
