The condition thinkpad_acpi checks to decide if it wants to create
backlight control interface is acpi_video_backlight_support function,
not that if ACPI video driver has registered previously. I'm sorry if my
previous words gave you such a conclusion.

If the ACPI_VIDEO_BACKLIGHT_FORCE_VENDOR flag is set,
acpi_video_backlight_support will return 0, thinkpad_acpi will create
backlight interface for the system, which is not what we want.
