This patch adds a quirk disabling keyboard backlight support for the Dell Inspiron 1012 and 1018.
Those models wrongly report supporting keyboard backlight control features (through SMBIOS tokens) even though they're not equipped with a backlit keyboard. This led to broken controls being exposed through sysfs by this driver which froze the system when used.
