Bug Description

system: Asus X501A1, X401A
Other function keys work fine(ex: Fn+F2: switch wifi)

When press Fn+F5/F6, there's no dump from command: showkey.

Adjust brightness from setting "Brightness and Lock" is ok.

We probably need this patch to fix the issue.
I have submitted this patch for SRU ago, but it will bring a pre-existing bug to light, so the kernel team reject it.
I'll re-verify this patch now and re-send the SRU request.

i915: initialize CADL in opregion

    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.

We need this patch to fix the pre-existing bug that will make the screen become black.
But, this commit based on many other changes.

drm/i915: disable the cpu edp port after the cpu pipe

    See bspec, Vol3 Part2, Section 1.1.3 "Display Mode Set Sequence". This
    applies to all platforms where we currently support eDP on, i.e. ilk,
    snb & ivb.

    Without this change we fail to light up the eDP port on previously
    unused crtcs (likely because something is stuck on the old pipe), and
    we also fail to properly disable the old pipe (i.e. bit 30 in the
    PIPECONF register is stuck as set until the next reboot).

v2: Rebased on top of the edp panel off sequence changes in 3.6-rc2.
