[Patch] apple-gmux: lock iGP IO to protect from vgaarb changes

From: Bruno PrÃmont
Date: Mon Feb 23 2015 - 15:52:15 EST


As GMUX depends on IO for iGP to be enabled and active, lock the IO at
vgaarb level. This should prevent GPU driver for dGPU to disable IO for
iGP while it tries to own legacy VGA IO.

This fixes usage of backlight control combined with closed nvidia
driver on some Apple dual-GPU (intel/nvidia) systems.

On those systems loading nvidia driver disables intel IO decoding,
disabling the gmux backlight controls as a side effect.
Prior to commits moving boot_vga from (optional) efifb to less optional
vgaarb this mis-behavior could be avoided by using right kernel config
(efifb enabled but vgaarb disabled).

This patch explicitly does not try to trigger vgaarb changes in order
to avoid confusing already running graphics drivers. If IO has been
mis-configured by vgaarb gmux will thus fail to probe.
It is expected to load/probe gmux prior to graphics drivers.
