[PATCH v2] platform/loongarch: laptop: explicitly reset the bl_powered state when resuming
From: Zixing Liu
Date: Thu Jul 23 2026 - 08:20:39 EST
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.
