Currently we disable the Acer WMI backlight device if there is no ACPI
backlight device. As a result, we end up with no backlight device at all.
We should instead disable it if there is an ACPI device, as the other
laptop drivers do. This regression was introduced in
976772e ("Acer-WMI:
fingers off backlight if video.ko is serving this functionality").
Each laptop driver with backlight support got a similar change around
976772e. The changes to the other drivers look correct; see e.g.
39ae4622 for a similar but correct change. The regression is also in
2.6.28.
