I was going to suggest adding the devmatch changes, but no other ACPI driver seems to have them yet, so I can do that in a sweep.

Yeah, I was wondering about devmatch in D21612

@imp how's the ACPI devmatch work? :)

This revision now requires review to proceed.Mar 31 2021, 7:02 PM

Oops, with git now, we don't need $FreeBSD$ in the Makefile either

Add man page and sys/conf/files entry

Can this driver generate org.freedesktop.UPower.KbdBacklight events ?

Can this driver generate org.freedesktop.UPower.KbdBacklight events ?

That's not a kernel thing, that can't be done *here*. upowerd needs integration with the backlight(9) system. But I think backlight(9) currently doesn't have event notifications. I'll look into that, but that's unrelated to drivers for particular hardware :)
