Since commit 3dbc80a3e4c5 ("ACPI: video: Make backlight class device
registration a separate step (v2)") acpi_video# backlights are no longer
automatically registered. Instead they now only get registered when
the GPU/KMS driver calls acpi_video_register_backlight() which it only
does when it has detected an internal LCD panel.
This fixes the issue of sometimes a non-working acpi_video# backlight
showing up on Desktops / HDMI-sticks without an internal LCD display
in a more complete and robust manner then the LCD flag check which
gets enabled by the should_check_lcd_flag() helper does.
Therefor the should_check_lcd_flag() helper is no longer necessary.
The lcd_only flag itself is still necessary to only register
a single backlight device (for the right output) on the ESPRIMO Mobile
M9410 which has 2 ACPI video connector nodes with a _BCM control method,
which is the issue for which the flag was originally introduced in
commit e50b9be14ab0 ("ACPI / video: only register backlight for LCD
device").
