Subject[drm] 3.18 regression: backlight dark after resume
Hi,

Since 3.18-rc1 backlight is dark after resume from suspend. This is on a Samsung
laptop with i5 IvyBridge

00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation 3rd Gen Core processor
Graphics Controller (rev 09)


I have bisected this problem to the following commit:
73580fb764c4213d305c0d36bd8f856ae631eb42 is the first bad commit
commit 73580fb764c4213d305c0d36bd8f856ae631eb42

drm/i915/dp: make backlight bl_power control power sequencer backlight

This lets the userspace switch off the backlight using the backlight
class sysfs bl_power file. The switch is done using the power sequencer;
the backlight PWM, and everything else, remains enabled. The display
backlight won't draw power, but for maximum power savings the encoder
needs to be switched off.
