[Intel-gfx] [PATCH v5 21/31] platform/x86: toshiba_acpi: Stop using acpi_video_set_dmi_backlight_type()

[Hans de Goede]

acpi_video_set_dmi_backlight_type() is troublesome because it may end up
getting called after other backlight drivers have already called
acpi_video_get_backlight_type() resulting in the other drivers
already being registered even though they should not.

In case of the acpi_video backlight, acpi_video_set_dmi_backlight_type()
actually calls acpi_video_unregister_backlight() since that is often
probed earlier, leading to userspace seeing the acpi_video0 class
device being briefly available, leading to races in userspace where
udev probe-rules try to access the device and it is already gone.

In case of toshiba_acpi there are no DMI quirks to move to
acpi/video_detect.c, but it also (ab)uses it for transflective
displays. Adding transflective display support to video_detect.c would
be quite involved. But luckily there are only 2 known models with
a transflective display, so we can just add DMI quirks for those.
