The ACPI video driver can't control backlight correctly on
Asus UL30VT. Vendor driver (asus-laptop) can work. This patch is to
add "Asus UL30VT" to ACPI video detect blacklist in order to use
asus-laptop for video control on the "Asus UL30VT" rather than ACPI
video driver.

On Samsung X360, the BIOS will set a flag (VDRV) if the generic
ACPI backlight device is used. This flag will definitively break
the backlight interface (even the vendor interface) untill next
reboot. It's why we should prevent video.ko from being used here
and we can't rely on a later call to acpi_video_unregister().

Instead of adding a big blacklist in video_detect.c to set
ACPI_VIDEO_BACKLIGHT_DMI_VENDOR correctly, let external modules
promote or demote themselves when they know the generic video
module won't work.
Currently drivers where using acpi_video_unregister() directly
but:
- That didn't respect any acpi_backlight=[video|vendor] parameter
provided by the user.
- Any later call to acpi_video_register() would still re-load the
generic video module (and some gpu drivers are doing that).
This patch fix those two issues.

asus_acpi only support old models, it has been deprecated since
2009 in favor of asus-laptop, it's not built by any (sane) distro,
so it is time to say good bye.
Thanks to Julien Lerouge and Karol Kozimor for the work they have
done on it, I would never have wrote asus-laptop and other asus
related drivers without asus_acpi.

These files were relying on module.h to come in via the path
in an include/acpi header file, but we don't want to have
instances of module.h being included from include/* files
if it can be avoided. Have the files include export.h instead.

This patch reverts one hunk of 677bd810ee
"ACPI video: remove output switching control", namely the removal of
probing for _DOS/_DOD when searching for video devices.
This is needed on some Fujitsu Laptops (at least S7110, P8010) for the
ACPI backlight interface to work, as an these machines, neither ROM nor
posting methods are available, and after removal of output switching,
none of the caps triggers, which prevents the backlight search from
being entered.
Tested on a Fujitsu Lifebook S7110 and Fujitsu Lifebook P8010.
This probably fixes https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=27312

on the S7110, BIOS rev 1.34:

With the patch applied,
ACPI video driver still catches the video output notification,
but it does nothing but raises the notification to userspace.

The existing interface only has a pre-order callback. This change
adds an additional parameter for a post-order callback which will
be more useful for bus scans. ACPICA BZ 779.
Also update the external calls to acpi_walk_namespace.

Currently a video bus device must (beside other criteria) define _DOD and
_DOS methods to be considered a video device.
Some broken BIOSes prevented working backlight control by only defining both
for one (non-existing bus) and only _DOD for the rest. With this patch in
place the other bus definitions were considered too and backlight control
started to work again.

Linux/ACPI core files using internal.h all PREFIX "ACPI: ",
however, not all ACPI drivers use/want it -- and they
should not have to #undef PREFIX to define their own.
Add GPL commment to internal.h while we are there.
This does not change any actual console output,

If an ACPI graphics device supports backlight brightness functions (cmp. with
latest ACPI spec Appendix B), let the ACPI video driver control backlight and
switch backlight control off in vendor specific ACPI drivers (asus_acpi,
thinkpad_acpi, eeepc, fujitsu_laptop, msi_laptop, sony_laptop, acer-wmi).
Currently it is possible to load above drivers and let both poke on the
brightness HW registers, the video and vendor specific ACPI drivers -> bad.
This patch provides the basic support to check for BIOS capabilities before
driver loading time. Driver specific modifications are in separate follow up
patches.
"acpi_backlight=vendor"
Prever vendor driver over ACPI driver for backlight.
"acpi_backlight=video" (default)
Prever ACPI driver over vendor driver for backlight.
