This is a preparation patch for the backlight interface selection logic cleanup, there are 2 reasons to not always build the video_detect code into the kernel: 1) In order for the video_detect.c to also deal with / select native backlight interfaces on win8 systems, instead of doing this in video.c where it does not belong, video_detect.c needs to call into the backlight class code. Which cannot be done if it is builtin and the blacklight class is not. 2) Currently all the platform/x86 drivers which have quirks to prefer the vendor driver over acpi-video call acpi_video_unregister_backlight() to remove the acpi-video backlight interface, this logic really belongs in video_detect.c, which will cause video_detect.c to depend on symbols of video.c and video.c already depends on video_detect.c symbols, so they really need to be a single module. Note that this commits make 2 changes so as to maintain 100% kernel commandline compatibil...
