Subject: drm/radeon: add backlight quirk for hybrid mac
From: Alex Deucher <[email protected]>
commit 80101790670385a85aca35ecae4b89e3f2fceecc upstream.
Mac laptops with multiple GPUs apparently use the gmux
driver for backlight control. Don't register a radeon
backlight interface. We may need to add other pci ids
for other hybrid mac laptops.
