Subject: [PATCH 2/2 v2] acer-wmi: add Acer Aspire 5750G to video vendor list but keep acpi video driver

After Andrzej's testing, we found the acpi backlight methods broken on Acer
Aspire 5750G but the i915 backlight control works when we set to vendor mode.
And, we still want to keep the acpi/video driver for transfer acpi event to key
event but not unregister whole acpi/video driver.

This patch introduced a new capability flag is ACER_CAP_KEEP_VIDEO_KEY, it
indicates the machine works fine with acpi/video driver for key event but want
to unregister the backlight interface of acpi/video.

Reference: bko#35622
        https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=35622

v2: changed the information statement of keeping acpi video driver.
