[ Upstream commit 28117f3a5c3c8375a3304af76357d5bf9cf30f0b ]

The quirks added to asus-nb-wmi for the ASUS ROG Zephyrus G14 and G15 are
wrong, they tell the asus-wmi code to use the vendor specific WMI backlight
interface. But there is no such interface on these laptops.

As a side effect, these quirks stop the acpi_video driver to register since
they make acpi_video_get_backlight_type() return acpi_backlight_vendor,
leaving only the native AMD backlight driver in place, which is the one we
want. This happy coincidence is being replaced with a new quirk in
drivers/acpi/video_detect.c which actually sets the backlight_type to
acpi_backlight_native fixinf this properly. This reverts
commit 13bceda68fb9 ("platform/x86: asus-nb-wmi: add support for ASUS ROG
Zephyrus G14 and G15").

Note this should only be cherry-picked if commit 2dfbacc65d1d
("ACPI: video: use native backlight for GA401/GA502/GA503"):
https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/commit/?id=2dfbacc65d1d2eae587ccb6b93f6280542641858

Is also being cherry-picked, since the quirk added in that commit
replaces the quirks which are being reverted here.

p.s.

The same remark also replies to the 5.12 and 5.10 cherry-picks of
this commit.

I'll take it too, thanks!
