[PATCH v5] ACPI: video: force native backlight on Dell OptiPlex AIO 7410 35W

[chitranshmandhaniya]

From: Chitransh Mandhaniya <Chitransh_Mandhaniya@xxxxxxxx>

The Dell OptiPlex AIO 7410 35W (board 01KP8D) declares DELL0501 in its
ACPI DSDT (status = 0x0F) even though no UART scalar board is physically
present. This causes acpi_video_get_backlight_type() to return
acpi_backlight_dell_uart, which makes i915 skip registering
intel_backlight. The dell-uart-backlight driver then times out talking
to the absent board and the probe fails, leaving the machine with zero
backlight control.

A BIOS update fixes this on some models (e.g. OptiPlex 7420, board
0914RT) by setting DELL0501 _STA to 0, but Dell has not shipped a
corrected BIOS for the 7410 even in the latest release (1.37.0,
2026-05-28).

Add a DMI quirk to force native backlight on this model so that i915
registers intel_backlight and brightness control works out of the box.

Tested on:
  - OptiPlex AIO 7410 35W (01KP8D, BIOS 1.37.0) -- confirmed
    acpi_backlight=native produces working intel_backlight (raw,
    max=96000), DMI quirk has the same effect.
  - OptiPlex AIO 7420 35W (0914RT, BIOS 1.27.0) -- DELL0501 absent in
    updated BIOS, intel_backlight works natively (no regression).
