When available prefer native backlight control over vendor backlight control. Testing has shown that there are quite a few laptop models which rely on native backlight control (they don't have ACPI video bus backlight control) and on which acpi_osi_is_win8() returns false. Currently __acpi_video_get_backlight_type() returns vendor on these laptops, leading to an empty /sys/class/backlight. As a workaround for this acpi_video_backlight_use_native() has been temporarily changed to always return true. This re-introduces the problem of having multiple backlight devices under /sys/class/backlight for a single panel. Change __acpi_video_get_backlight_type() to prefer native over vendor when available. So that it returns native on these models. And change acpi_video_backlight_use_native() back to only return true when __acpi_video_get_backlight_type() returns native.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
