[PATCH 3/3] ACPI: video: Add backlight=native quirk for Dell OptiPlex 7760 AIO

Dell All In One (AIO) models released after 2017 may use a backlight
controller board connected to an UART.
In DSDT this uart port will be defined as:
Name (_HID, "DELL0501")
Name (_CID, EisaId ("PNP0501")
The Dell OptiPlex 7760 AIO has an ACPI device for one if its UARTs with
the above _HID + _CID. Loading the dell-uart-backlight driver shows that
there actually is a backlight controller board attached to the UART,
which reports a firmware version of "G&MX01-V15".
But the backlight controller board does not actually control the backlight
brightness and the GPU's native backlight control method does work.
Add a quirk to use the GPU's native backlight control method on this model.
