[PATCH v4] ACPI / video: Add systems that should favour native backlight interface

From: Aaron Lu
Date: Tue Feb 18 2014 - 00:54:51 EST


Some system's ACPI video backlight control interface is broken and the
native backlight control interface should be used by default. This patch
sets the use_native_backlight parameter to true for those systems so
that video backlight control interface will not be created. For detailed
models that are added here, reference the following list.

Note that the user specified kernel cmdline option will always have the
highest priority, i.e. if use_native_backlight=0 is specified and the
system is in the DMI table, the video module will not skip registering
backlight interface for it.
