Subject: [PATCH AUTOSEL 5.4 090/130] ACPI: video: Add DMI quirk for GIGABYTE GB-BXBT-2807

From: "Jasper St. Pierre" <jstpierre@...heye.net>

[ Upstream commit 25417185e9b5ff90746d50769d2a3fcd1629e254 ]

The GIGABYTE GB-BXBT-2807 is a mini-PC which uses off the shelf
components, like an Intel GPU which is meant for mobile systems.
As such, it, by default, has a backlight controller exposed.

Unfortunately, the backlight controller only confuses userspace, which
sees the existence of a backlight device node and has the unrealistic
belief that there is actually a backlight there!

Add a DMI quirk to force the backlight off on this system.
