The Lenovo Ideapad Z570 (which is an Acer in disguise like some other Ideapads)
has a broken acpi_video interface and is too old for the acpi-video code to
automatically prefer the native backlight interface, so add a quirk for it.

Note that this cannot be done with a quirk in the vendor backlight driver as
is the normal way to fix this as the Z570 offers both acer-wmi and
ideapad-laptop vendor backlight interfaces, so this would require the same
quirk in 2 places which is the wrong thing to do.

This one would need to be updated on top of the Aaron's patch, right?

Correct, and it seems to need some more work in general as it conflicts
with a patch to video-detect.c which is already upstream for this laptop model,
but does not seem to 100% fix the problem.

Regards,

Hans
