ACPI / video: update the skip case for acpi_video_device_in_dod()

Aaron Lu · rafaeljw · commit b4df463678fb · 2014-12-15T15:24:23.000+01:00
If the firmware has declared more than 8 video output devices, and the one that control the internal panel's backlight is listed after the first 8 output devices, the _DOD will not include it due to the current i915 operation region implementation. As a result, we will not create a backlight device for it while we should. Solve this problem by special case the firmware that has 8+ output devices in that if we see such a firmware, we do not test if the device is in _DOD list. The creation of the backlight device will also enable the firmware to emit events on backlight hotkey press when the acpi_osi= cmdline option is specified on those affected ASUS laptops.
