      x86: dt: Cleanup local apic setup · a906fdaa
      Thomas Gleixner authored
      Up to now we force enable the local apic in the devicetree setup
      uncoditionally and set smp_found_config unconditionally to 1 when a
      devicetree blob is available. This breaks, when local apic is disabled
      in the Kconfig.
      
      Make it consistent by initializing device tree explicitely before
      smp_get_config() so a non lapic configuration could be used as well.
      To be functional that would require to implement PIT as an interrupt
      host, but the only user of this code until now is ce4100 which
      requires apics to be available. So we leave this up to those who need
      it.

      drm/i915: Do not handle backlight combination mode specially · 951f3512
      Indan Zupancic authored
      The current code does not follow Intel documentation: It misses some things
      and does other, undocumented things. This causes wrong backlight values in
      certain conditions. Instead of adding tricky code handling badly documented
      and rare corner cases, don't handle combination mode specially at all. This
      way PCI_LBPC is never touched and weird things shouldn't happen.
      
      If combination mode is enabled, then the only downside is that changing the
      brightness has a greater granularity (the LBPC value), but LBPC is at most
      254 and the maximum is in the thousands, so this is no real functional loss.
      
      A potential problem with not handling combined mode is that a brightness of
      max * PCI_LBPC is not bright enough. However, this is very unlikely because
      from the documentation LBPC seems to act as a scaling factor and doesn't look
      like it's supposed to be changed after boot. The value at boot should always
      result in a bright enough screen.
      
      IMPORTANT: However, although usually the above is true, it may not be when
      people ran an older (2.6.37) kernel which messed up the LBPC register, and
      they are unlucky enough to have a BIOS that saves and restores the LBPC value.
      Then a good kernel may seem to not work: Max brightness isn't bright enough.
      If this happens people should boot back into the old kernel, set brightness
      to the maximum, and then reboot. After that everything should be fine.
