Ok, lets remove the acpi_backlight=video quirk for Lenovo ThinkPad W530
then. This was intended to make life easier for Nvidia binary driver
users, but since it is causing issues elsewhere  Nvidia binary driver
users will just have to manually pass acpi_backlight=video on
the kernel commandline until Nvidia fixes the driver.

I'll submit a patch to remove the quirk right away.

Regards,

Hans
