acer-wmi: Switch to acpi_video_unregister_backlight Switch from acpi_video_unregister(), to acpi_video_unregister_backlight(), so that the hotkeys handler registered by acpi-video stays in place. Since there are no mappings for the atkbd raw codes for the brightness keys used by newer Acer models in /lib/udev/hwdb.d/60-keyboard.hwdb, and since we map the wmi events with a code of KE_IGNORE, we rely on acpi-video to do the hotkey handling for us. For laptops such as the Acer Aspire 5750 which uses intel gfx this works despite us calling acpi_video_unregister() because the following happens: 1) acpi-video module gets loaded (as it is a dependency of acer-wmi and i915) 2) acpi-video does NOT call acpi_video_register() 3) acer-wmi loads (assume it loads before i915), calls acpi_video_dmi_promote_vendor(); which sets ACPI_VIDEO_BACKLIGHT_DMI_VENDOR 4) calls acpi_video_unregister -> not registered, nop 5) i915 loads, calls acpi_video_register 6) acpi_video_register registers the acpi_notifier for the hotkeys, does NOT register a backlight device because of ACPI_VIDEO_BACKLIGHT_DMI_VENDOR But on the Acer Aspire 5750G, which uses nvidia graphics the following happens: 1) acpi-video module gets loaded (as it is a dependency of acer-wmi) 2) acpi-video calls acpi_video_register() 3) acpi_video_register registers the acpi_notifier for the hotkeys, and a backlight device 4) acer-wmi loads, calls acpi_video_dmi_promote_vendor() 5) calls acpi_video_unregister, this unregisters BOTH the acpi_notifier for the hotkeys AND the backlight device And we end up without any handler for the brightness hotkeys. This patch fixes this by switching over to acpi_video_unregister_backlight() which keeps the hotkey handler in place.
