Thanks for the report, as communicated on the bug page, your system is
already blacklisted for win8 by commit:

commit 2d4054d8422462cb2771fdb4eb1925df55d2b320
Author:	Takashi Iwai <tiwai@xxxxxxx>  Fri Dec 20 00:09:12 2013
Committer:	Rafael J. Wysocki <rafael.j.wysocki@xxxxxxxxx>  Fri Dec 20 22:50:56 2013

ACPI: Blacklist Win8 OSI for some HP laptop 2013 models

And the fact that acpi_video interface works made it not appropriate to
add your system into the video_detect_dmi_table. You can just use acpi_video
interface and everything should work fine.
