acpi: add a way to promote/demote vendor backlight drivers
Instead of adding a big blacklist in video_detect.c to set ACPI_VIDEO_BACKLIGHT_DMI_VENDOR correctly, let external modules promote or demote themselves when they know the generic video module won't work. Currently drivers where using acpi_video_unregister() directly but: - That didn't respect any acpi_backlight=[video|vendor] parameter provided by the user. - Any later call to acpi_video_register() would still re-load the generic video module (and some gpu drivers are doing that). This patch fix those two issues. Signed-off-by: Corentin Chary <corentin.chary@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Matthew Garrett <mjg@redhat.com>
