    ACPI / Video: Probe for output switch method when searching video devices. · ed764e7c
    Michael Karcher authored
    This patch reverts one hunk of 677bd810
    "ACPI video: remove output switching control", namely the removal of
    probing for _DOS/_DOD when searching for video devices.
    
    This is needed on some Fujitsu Laptops (at least S7110, P8010) for the
    ACPI backlight interface to work, as an these machines, neither ROM nor
    posting methods are available, and after removal of output switching,
    none of the caps triggers, which prevents the backlight search from
    being entered.
    
    Tested on a Fujitsu Lifebook S7110 and Fujitsu Lifebook P8010.
    This probably fixes https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=27312
    
    
    for the people who have no entry in /sys/class/backlight.
    
    This is the complete list of public (starting with "_") methods implemented
    on the S7110, BIOS rev 1.34:
