    acpi-video-detect: Rewrite backlight interface selection logic · 87521e16

    Currently we have 2 kernel commandline options + dmi-quirks in 3 places all
    interacting (in interesting ways) to select which which backlight interface
    to use. On the commandline we've acpi_backlight=[video|vendor] and
    video.use_native_backlight=[0|1]. DMI quirks we have in
    acpi/video-detect.c, acpi/video.c and drivers/platform/x86/*.c .
    
    This commit is the first step to cleaning this up, replacing the 2 cmdline
    options with just acpi_backlight=[video|vendor|native|none], and adds a
    new API to video_detect.c to reflect this.
    
    Follow up commits will also move other related code, like unregistering the
    acpi_video backlight interface if it was registered before other drivers
    which take priority over it are loaded, to video_detect.c where this
    logic really belongs.
