Move the backlight DMI quirks to acpi/video_detect.c, so that the driver no longer needs to call acpi_video_set_dmi_backlight_type(). acpi_video_set_dmi_backlight_type() is troublesome because it may end up getting called after other backlight drivers have already called acpi_video_get_backlight_type() resulting in the other drivers already being registered even though they should not. Note that even though the DMI quirk table name was video_vendor_dmi_table, 5/6 quirks were actually quirks to use the GPU native backlight. These 5 quirks also had a callback in their dmi_system_id entry which disabled the acer-wmi vendor driver; and any DMI match resulted in: acpi_video_set_dmi_backlight_type(acpi_backlight_vendor); which disabled the acpi_video driver, so only the native driver was left. The new entries for these 5/6 devices correctly marks these as needing the native backlight driver. Also note that other changes in this series change the native backlight drivers to no longer unconditionally register their backlight. Instead these drivers now do this check: if (acpi_video_get_backlight_type(false) != acpi_backlight_native) return 0; /* bail */ which without this patch would have broken these 5/6 "special" quirks. Since I had to look at all the commits adding the quirks anyways, to make sure that I understood the code correctly, I've also added links to the various original bugzillas for these quirks to the new entries.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
