I'm not especially keen on this - if this seems like a general problem,
adding boards piecemeal to a DMI table will never solve it for most
people. What does performing the backlight calls actually do?

The user has reported no adverse effects from the backlight control being
present, other then gnome3 showing a brightness control in its system
menu which is undesirable on a desktop machine.

Sorry, yeah, I wasn't clear. What results do we get from the calls? If
they just return 0s then we should alter the driver to skip backlight
registration in that case.

The acpi_video0 backlight interface reports a max_backlight of 100, so it
appears to be functional, unlike the asus-wmi interface which is present but
appears non functional.

Regards,

Hans
