Make "acpi_backlight=video" param enable ACPI_VIDEO_BACKLIGHT_FORCE_VIDEO
as intended, instead of incorrectly enabling video output switching.

Lin Ming 2263576cfc ACPICA: Add post-order callback to acpi_walk_namespace
The existing interface only has a pre-order callback. This change
adds an additional parameter for a post-order callback which will
be more useful for bus scans. ACPICA BZ 779.

Also update the external calls to acpi_walk_namespace.

Stefan Bader 3a1151e3f1 ACPI: video: Loosen strictness of video bus detection code
BugLink: http://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/333386

Currently a video bus device must (beside other criteria) define _DOD and
_DOS methods to be considered a video device.
Some broken BIOSes prevented working backlight control by only defining both
for one (non-existing bus) and only _DOD for the rest. With this patch in
place the other bus definitions were considered too and backlight control
started to work again.

Len Brown a192a9580b ACPI: Move definition of PREFIX from acpi_bus.h to internal..h
Linux/ACPI core files using internal.h all PREFIX "ACPI: ",
however, not all ACPI drivers use/want it -- and they
should not have to #undef PREFIX to define their own.

Add GPL commment to internal.h while we are there.

This does not change any actual console output,
asside from a whitespace fix.

Thomas Renninger c3d6de698c ACPI video: if no ACPI backlight support, use vendor drivers
If an ACPI graphics device supports backlight brightness functions (cmp. with
latest ACPI spec Appendix B), let the ACPI video driver control backlight and
switch backlight control off in vendor specific ACPI drivers (asus_acpi,
thinkpad_acpi, eeepc, fujitsu_laptop, msi_laptop, sony_laptop, acer-wmi).

Currently it is possible to load above drivers and let both poke on the
brightness HW registers, the video and vendor specific ACPI drivers -> bad.

This patch provides the basic support to check for BIOS capabilities before
driver loading time. Driver specific modifications are in separate follow up
patches.

"acpi_backlight=vendor"
	Prever vendor driver over ACPI driver for backlight.
"acpi_backlight=video" (default)
	Prever ACPI driver over vendor driver for backlight.
