This reverts commit 7c0ea45be4 which
caused a regression with the backlight being set to off when a laptop
doesn't have a _BQC entry to query the actual backlight value. The code
blindly then falls back on a value of 0.

The function thermal_cooling_device_register always returns either a valid
pointer or a value made with ERR_PTR, so a test for non-zero on the result
will always succeed.

According to acpi spec , the objects of _BCL and _BCM are required if
integrated LCD is present and supports brightness level .The _BQC is
the optional object. So the _BQC object is ignored when the backlight device
is registered in ACPI video driver.

Introduce new module parameter for brightness control.
"brightness_switch_enabled" is set by default which means
nothing changes upon brightness switch events.
When "brightness_switch_enabled" is cleared via
"echo 0 > /sys/module/video/parameters/brightness_switch_enabled",
ACPI will not try to change the brightness level any more.
Either X will take charge of this or users can change the brightness level
by poking /sys/class/backlight/acpi_videoX/...

The sysfs backlight class provides no mechanism for querying the
acceptable brightness for a backlight. The ACPI spec states that values
are only valid if they are reported as available by the firmware. Since
we can't provide that information to userspace, instead collapse the
range to the number of actual values that can be set.

In the past, the Linux/ACPI video driver invoked _DOS
(Display Output Switch) with the parameter 1
to tell the BIOS to switch the video output display for us.
But this conflicts with Linux native graphics drivers,
and can cause all sorts of issues, including hanging the system.
http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=6001
Here we change the Linux default to evaluate _DOS=0,
which tells the BIOS to simply send us a hotkey event
and not touch the graphics hardware.
The acpi video driver sends the display switch hotkey
event up through the intput layer, and X can interpret
that and use its native graphics driver to switch the display.
For the case where Linux has no native graphics driver running,
or the graphics driver doesn't know how to switch video and
the BIOS (safely) does, the previous behaviour can be restored with:
# echo 1 > /proc/acpi/video/*/DOS

Currently the acpi video module export the backlight interface to sysfs
also if acpi_video_device_lcd_query_levels() fails to read _BLC method
(e.g. because the method is not available). In this case the userspace
don't know which brightness level are supported and can't set a brightness
level (echo return with: "write error: Invalid Argument"). This happend
e.g. on a ASUS RF1 (correct supported by the asus-laptop module).
The video module should not export the backlight interface if query _BLC fail,
because you can't set anything from userspace and this make it useless.

Requires CONFIG_VIDEO_OUTPUT_CONTROL and CONFIG_ACPI_VIDEO.
After loading output.ko and video.ko, you would have
/sys/class/video_output and several device acpi_videoNum there.
For example, I got acpi_video0, acpi_video1,acpi_video2,and acpi_video3
under /sys/class/video_output on my T40.
I can query the status of output device0 by running " cat
/sys/class/video_output/acpi_video0
" The return value is defined in ACPI SPEC B.5.5 _DCS(Return the
Status of Output Device). Also you can turn off video1 and turn on
video0 by " echo 0 > acpi_video1; echo 0x80000000 > acpi_video0".
Please reference ACPI SPEC B.5.7 _DSS for the parameter definition.
Please note that it may or may NOT works purely depending on if
your vendor providing correct ACPI video extension support in bios.
the driver output.ko and video.ko just works like a interface to
