From: Thomas Renninger <trenn@suse.de>
Subject: [PATCH] Check for ACPI backlight support otherwise use vendor ACPI drivers
Patch-Mainline: queued for .28 in Len's/ak's ACPI tree

commit f43d728731c691772ddc29e50d25c68a859935b5

If an ACPI graphics device supports backlight brightness functions (cmp. with
latest ACPI spec Appendix B), let the ACPI video driver control backlight and
switch backlight control off in vendor specific ACPI drivers (asus_acpi,
thinkpad_acpi, eeepc, fujitsu_laptop, msi_laptop, sony_laptop, acer-wmi).

Currently it is possible to load above drivers and let both poke on the
brightness HW registers, the video and vendor specific ACPI drivers -> bad.

This patch provides the basic support to check for BIOS capabilities before
driver loading time. Driver specific modifications are in separate follow up
patches.

acpi_backlight=vendor/video
      boot params forces video.ko or vendor specific drivers to keep its
      fingers off backlight control even it would find needed functions.
      The corresponding vendor specific driver be used then.
