Subject: [PATCH 4.19 17/20] ACPI: video: Force backlight native for Clevo NL5xRU and NL5xNU

From: Werner Sembach <wse@...edocomputers.com>

commit c844d22fe0c0b37dc809adbdde6ceb6462c43acf upstream.

Clevo NL5xRU and NL5xNU/TUXEDO Aura 15 Gen1 and Gen2 have both a working
native and video interface. However the default detection mechanism first
registers the video interface before unregistering it again and switching
to the native interface during boot. This results in a dangling SBIOS
request for backlight change for some reason, causing the backlight to
switch to ~2% once per boot on the first power cord connect or disconnect
event. Setting the native interface explicitly circumvents this buggy
behaviour by avoiding the unregistering process.
