The firmware of ESPRIMO Mobile M9410 has two video output devices that
have _BCM control method, one is the type of "External Digital Monitor"
while the other is the type of "Internal/Integrated Digital Flat Panel".
Only the 2nd video output device's _BCM control method works, but
since we have created two and the 1st one got picked up by user space,
the backlight functionality is broken. To solve this problem, only
register backlight interface for "Internal/Integrated Digital Flat Panel"
type video output device on this laptop.
Another problem of this laptop is that the IDs listed by the _DOD method
doesn't have bit 31 set, which means it doesn't follow the format
specified by ACPI spec. But the value indicates that it actually follows
that format so I've added a DMI quirk and a module level parameter to
force use the device_id_scheme so that we can get the video output
device's type to do the decision if we should register backlight
interface.

acpi_video_unregister_backlight() is now only used by video_detect.c
which is part of the same acpi_video module as video.c, make
acpi_video_unregister_backlight() private to this module.

It is possible for a native backlight driver to load while
acpi_video_register is running, which may lead to
acpi_video_unregister_backlight being called while acpi_video_register
is running and the 2 racing against eachother.
The register_count variable protects against this, but not in a thread
safe manner, this commit adds locking to make this thread safe.

When builtin there is no guarantee in which order module_init functions
are run, so acpi_video_register() may get called from the i915 driver
(if it is also builtin) before acpi_video_init() gets called, resulting
in the dmi quirks not yet being parsed.
This commit moves the dmi_check_system() call to acpi_video_register(),
so that we can be sure the dmi quirks have always been applied before
probing.

Move the unregistering of the acpi backlight interface on registering of a
native backlight from video.c to video_detect.c where it belongs.
Note this removes support for re-registering the acpi backlight interface
when the native interface goes away. In practice this never happens and
it needlessly complicates the code.

Most of the patch is moving the dmi quirks for forcing use of the
acpi-video / the native backlight interface to video_detect.c.
What remains is a nice cleanup.

This is a preparation patch for the backlight interface selection logic
cleanup, there are 2 reasons to not always build the video_detect code
into the kernel:
1) In order for the video_detect.c to also deal with / select native
backlight interfaces on win8 systems, instead of doing this in video.c
where it does not belong, video_detect.c needs to call into the backlight
class code. Which cannot be done if it is builtin and the blacklight class
is not.
2) Currently all the platform/x86 drivers which have quirks to prefer
the vendor driver over acpi-video call acpi_video_unregister_backlight()
to remove the acpi-video backlight interface, this logic really belongs
in video_detect.c, which will cause video_detect.c to depend on symbols of
video.c and video.c already depends on video_detect.c symbols, so they
really need to be a single module.
Note that this commits make 2 changes so as to maintain 100% kernel
commandline compatibility:
1) The __setup call for the acpi_backlight= handling is moved to
acpi/util.c as __setup may only be used by code which is alwasy builtin
2) video.c is renamed to acpi_video.c so that it can be combined with
video_detect.c into video.ko
This commit also makes changes to drivers/platform/x86/Kconfig to ensure
that drivers which use acpi_video_backlight_support() from video_detect.c,
will not be built-in when acpi_video is not built in. This also changes
some "select" uses to "depends on" to avoid dependency loops.
