[PATCH v2] ACPI / video: Add systems that should favor native backlight interface

Some system's ACPI video backlight control interface is broken and the
native backlight control interface should be used by default. This patch
sets the use_native_backlight parameter to true for those systems so
that video backlight control interface will not be created. To be
specific, the ThinkPad T430s/X230, Lenovo Yoga 13, Dell Inspiron 7520
and Acer Aspire 5733Z are added here, if they appear in some other DMI
table before, they are removed from there.

Note that the user specified kernel cmdline option will always have the
highest priority, i.e. if use_native_backlight=0 is specified and the
system is in the DMI table, the video module will not skip registering
backlight interface for it.
