+Subject: i915: initialize CADL in opregion
+
+commit d627b62ff8d4d36761adbcd90ff143d79c94ab22 upstream.
+
+This is rather a hack to fix brightness hotkeys on a Clevo laptop. CADL is not
+used anywhere in the driver code at the moment, but it could be used in BIOS as
+is the case with the Clevo laptop.
+
+The Clevo B7130 requires the CADL field to contain at least the ID of
+the LCD device. If this field is empty, the ACPI methods that are called
+on pressing brightness / display switching hotkeys will not trigger a
+notification. As a result, it appears as no hotkey has been pressed.
