Thanks.
I checked briefly between v5.7 and v5.8, but there is no change in either driver/acpi/video_detect.c or drivers/acpi/acpi_video.c. So the ACPI code (in those areas) didn't change, and something else (also in ACPI) must be the cause of the regression. It's hard to tell for now.
And, I looked at the backlight support on Apple machines and they are... well... messy. There is apple-gmux driver that supports things on some devices but it's only for ACPI APP000B, which isn't enabled on yours.
At this moment, the best thing we can do is to git bisect. But of course it takes time (and patience).
It's fine if it will take time, for the time being I'll look at the screen with sunglasses on :P. Thank you for looking into it. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
