Subject: [PATCH 3.15 046/122] drm/i915: default to having backlight if VBT not available

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

------------------

From: Jani Nikula <jani.nikula@...el.com>

commit 56c4b63aaf4c2cd91966b2a5e69e5367bea60bbe upstream.

Apparently there are Apple laptops with magic smoke for a VBIOS, which
we fail to find and use. Default to having and setting up backlight in
this case.

This fixes a regression introduced by
commit c675949ec58ca50d5a3ae3c757892f1560f6e896
