Hello,

to make sure that nothing will be broken I will try to explain current
code. Variable acpi_video is global boolean (for this module) and when
is set to true it is expected that ACPI generate brightness up/down key
events via ACPI input device. When is acpi_video boolean variable is set
to false then ACPI input device should not send brightness up/down keys
to userspace. And dell-wmi.ko driver send those two keys via dell-wmi
input device.

So please check that your change does not change above behaviour. Maybe
it would make sense to rename "acpi_video" variable to something better.
