Subject: [PATCH 2/4] dell-wmi: Use acpi_video_handles_brightness_key_presses()
Use the new acpi_video_handles_brightness_key_presses function to check
if we should report brightness key-presses.
This makes the code both easier to read and makes it properly report
key-presses when acpi-video is not reporting them for reasons other
then the backlight type being vendor.

I do not like this, because that function uses mutex and is called every
time when brightness key event is received by wmi notify handler.
Right and this is going to happen 1000-s of times a second so is
really going to be a performance problem (not).
We cannot cache the return value as was being done before because it
can change during startup depending in module loading order (the old
code actually got this somewhat wrong), and taking a mutex in a code-path
which gets executed only once a second tops is really a non issue.

Subject: [PATCH 4/4] acpi-video: Add a module option to disable the reporting
of keypresses
Add a module option to disable the reporting of keypresses, in some buggy
firmware implementatinon, the reported events are wrong. E.g. they lag
reality by one event in the case triggering the writing of this patch.
In this case it is better to not forward these wrong events to userspace
(esp.) when there is another source of the same events which is not buggy.
Note this is only intended to work around implementations which send
events which are plain wrong. In some cases we get double events, e.g.
from both acpi-video and the atkbd driver, in this case acpi-video is
considered the canonical source, and the events from the other source
should be filtered (using e.g. /lib/udev/hwdb.d/60-keyboard.hwdb).

-1 is default value? Should not be it 3? Or -1 as some default which use
quirks?
Right, the -1 is to later detect if the value was overriden from the kernel
cmdline so that we do not apply dmi quirks when the value comes from the
kernel cmdline.
