ACPI: video: Prefer native over vendor
When available prefer native backlight control over vendor backlight
control.
Testing has shown that there are quite a few laptop models which rely
on native backlight control (they don't have ACPI video bus backlight
control) and on which acpi_osi_is_win8() returns false.
Currently __acpi_video_get_backlight_type() returns vendor on these
laptops, leading to an empty /sys/class/backlight.
As a workaround for this acpi_video_backlight_use_native() has been
temporarily changed to always return true.
This re-introduces the problem of having multiple backlight
devices under /sys/class/backlight for a single panel.
Change __acpi_video_get_backlight_type() to prefer native over vendor
when available. So that it returns native on these models.
And change acpi_video_backlight_use_native() back to only return
true when __acpi_video_get_backlight_type() returns native.
