Subject: [PATCH 3.12 084/181] ACPI / video: clean up DMI table for initial black screen problem

From: Aaron Lu <aaron.lu@...el.com>

3.12-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

===============

commit 545ef368e08fda654b6e63ce522c66339aa29156 upstream.

With commit 2c62333a408f "ACPI / video: Quirk initial backlight level 0"
we do not need to have the following systems in DMI table, so remove them.
HP Pavilion m4, HP 1000 Notebook PC, HP Pavilion g6 Notebook PC,
HP Pavilion dm4, Fujitsu E753, HP Folio 13-2000.

With this change, the use_bios_initial_backlight module parameter is no
longer needed and thus removed.
