Subject: [PATCH] ACPI: video: Invoke _PS0 at boot for ACPI video

Screen brightness can only be changed once on some HP laptops.

Vendor identified the root cause as Linux doesn't invoke _PS0 at boot
for all ACPI devices:
    Scope (\_SB.PC00.GFX0)
    {
        Scope (DD1F)
        {
            Method (_PS0, 0, Serialized)  // _PS0: Power State 0
            {
                If (CondRefOf (\_SB.PC00.LPCB.EC0.SSBC))
                {
                    \_SB.PC00.LPCB.EC0.SSBC ()
                }
            }
	    ...
	}
	...
    }

_PS0 doesn't get invoked for all ACPI devices because of commit
7cd8407d53ef ("ACPI / PM: Do not execute _PS0 for devices without _PSC
during initialization").

For now explicitly call _PS0 for ACPI video to workaround the issue.
