commit 052a791b00555805f19ccc38a04d42d48b54104b Author: Abdelkader Boudih <[email protected]> AuthorDate: 2026-02-03 01:43:00 +0000 Commit: Adrian Chadd <[email protected]> CommitDate: 2026-02-03 01:51:37 +0000 acpi: add Darwin OSI quirk for Apple Mac hardware Mac firmware hides the Intel integrated GPU (iGPU) on dual GPU x86 systems, i.e., with AMD/NVIDIA dGPUs, when the Darwin OSI is not installed via ACPI. Prior to this change, FreeBSD always used the dGPU. This is fine in practice, but consumed more power than when the iGPU is used, resulting in reduced battery life. Linux handles this in `drivers/acpi/osi.c` by detecting Apple hardware via DMI, disabling all Windows OSI strings, and by explicitly installing the Darwin OSI ACPI handler. This change applies equivalent logic to the acpi(4) driver on FreeBSD. This feature can be enabled/disabled using the `hw.acpi.apple_darwin_osi` tunable. Setting this tunable to `0` restores the previous behavior by explicitly disabling the added support.
