On some new laptop designs a new Nvidia specific WMI interface is present which gives info about panel brightness control and may allow controlling the brightness through this interface when the embedded controller is used for brightness control. When this WMI interface is present and indicates that the EC is used, then this interface should be used for brightness control. Changes in v2: - Use the new shared nvidia-wmi-ec-backlight.h header for the WMI firmware API definitions - ACPI_VIDEO can now be enabled on non X86 too, adjust the Kconfig changes to match this. Changes in v3: - Use WMI_BRIGHTNESS_GUID define Acked-by: Rafael J.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
