[PATCH 3.17 108/122] drm/radeon: disable native backlight control on pre-r6xx asics (v2)

[Greg Kroah-Hartman]

3.17-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Alex Deucher <alexander.deucher@xxxxxxx>

commit b7bc596ebbe0cddc97d76ef9309f64471bbf13eb upstream.

Just use the acpi interface.  That's what windows uses on this
generation and it's the only thing that seems to work reliably
on these generation parts.

You can still force the native backlight interface by setting
radeon.backlight=1

Bug:

v2: merge into above if/else block
