Typically the acpi_video driver will initialize before amdgpu, which used to cause /sys/class/backlight/acpi_video0 to get registered and then amdgpu would register its own amdgpu_bl# device later. After which the drivers/acpi/video_detect.c code unregistered the acpi_video0 device to avoid there being 2 backlight devices. This means that userspace used to briefly see 2 devices and the disappearing of acpi_video0 after a brief time confuses the systemd backlight level save/restore code, see e.g.: https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=269920 To fix this the ACPI video code has been modified to make backlight class device registration a separate step, relying on the drm/kms driver to ask for the acpi_video backlight registration after it is done setting up its native backlight device. Add a call to the new acpi_video_register_backlight() when amdgpu skips registering its own backlight device because of either the firmware_flags or the acpi_video_get_backlight_type() return value. This ensures that if the acpi_video backlight device should be used, it will be available before the amdgpu drm_device gets registered with userspace.
