[PATCH] platform/loongarch: laptop: explicitly reset the bl_powered state when resuming

From: liushuyu

Date: Wed Jul 22 2026 - 00:45:51 EST


From: Zixing Liu <liushuyu@xxxxxxx>

On EAECIS NL60R with EC firmware version 1.11, resuming from S3 has a very
high chance (>= 90%) of causing the EC to lose the previous backlight
power state. When this happens, the laptop resumes normally from S3, but
the backlight remains off (when shining on the screen with a flash light,
we can see the screen contents are updating normally).

Since there is no generic way to query the EC's backlight state on
Loongson laptop platforms, assume the worst-case scenario and restart the
backlight power inside the kernel each time the system resumes.
