From: Jani Nikula <jani.nikula@xxxxxxxxx>
commit 56c4b63aaf4c2cd91966b2a5e69e5367bea60bbe upstream.
Apparently there are Apple laptops with magic smoke for a VBIOS, which
we fail to find and use. Default to having and setting up backlight in
this case.
This fixes a regression introduced by
commit c675949ec58ca50d5a3ae3c757892f1560f6e896
