It doesn't seem to be the best way to solve this problem to me, as the platform driver doesn't need to be dependent on ACPI video driver and ACPI video driver shouldn't handle things like these. The current backlight model has limitations to solve problems like this, also bear in mind we have some thinkpad models that have similar problems. I sent the email hoping we can have a discussion on this topic a while ago: http://marc.info/?l=linux-acpi&m=136507538826872&w=2 Unfortunately nobody seems interested. I'm thinking how we can deal with such problems altogether, introducing something like backlight manager seems to be a necessary thing to do now.

There have some situation we unregister whole acpi/video driver by downstream driver just want to remove backlight control interface of acpi/video. It caues we lost other functions of acpi/video, e.g. transfer acpi event to input event. So, this patch add a new function, find_video_unregister_backlight, it provide the interface let downstream driver can tell acpi/video to unregister backlight interface of all acpi video devices. Then we can keep functions of acpi/video but only remove backlight support. Reference: bko#35622 https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=35622 v2: Also unregister cooling devices.
