Subject: [PATCH v1] ACPI: video: Fix missing native backlight on Chromebooks

Chromebooks don't have backlight in ACPI table, they suppose to use
native backlight in this case. Check presence of the CrOS embedded
controller ACPI device and prefer the native backlight if EC found.

Suggested-by: Hans de Goede <hdegoede@...hat.com>
Fixes: b1d36e73cc1c ("drm/i915: Don't register backlight when another backlight should be used (v2)")
