commit c675949ec58ca50d5a3ae3c757892f1560f6e896
      drm/i915: do not setup backlight if not available according to VBT

caused a regression on machines with a misconfigured VBT. Add a quirk to 
assert the presence of a controllable backlight. Use it to ignore the VBT 
backlight presence check during backlight setup.
