    ACPI: video: Add backlight=native quirk for Dell OptiPlex 7760 AIO · 5c7bb62c
    Hans de Goede authored
    Dell All In One (AIO) models released after 2017 may use a backlight
    controller board connected to an UART.
    
    In DSDT this uart port will be defined as:
    
       Name (_HID, "DELL0501")
       Name (_CID, EisaId ("PNP0501")
    
    The Dell OptiPlex 7760 AIO has an ACPI device for one if its UARTs with
    the above _HID + _CID. Loading the dell-uart-backlight driver shows that
    there actually is a backlight controller board attached to the UART,
    which reports a firmware version of "G&MX01-V15".
    
    But the backlight controller board does not actually control the backlight
    brightness and the GPU's native backlight control method does work.
    
    Add a quirk to use the GPU's native backlight control method on this model.
