ACPI / video: Add a parameter to not register the backlight sysfs interface
On some systems acpi-video backlight is broken in the sense that it cannot control the brightness of the backlight, but it must still be called on resume to power-up the backlight after resume. This commit allows these systems to work by going through all the usual backlight control moves, while not registering a sysfs backlight interface. This commit also adds a quirk enabling this parameter on Toshiba Portege R830 systems which are known to be affected by this. I wish there was a better way to deal with this, but we've been unable to find one.
