Remove this check from the asus-wmi backlight handling:
/* Some Asus desktop boards export an acpi-video backlight interface,
stop this from showing up */
chassis_type = dmi_get_system_info(DMI_CHASSIS_TYPE);
if (chassis_type && !strcmp(chassis_type, "3"))
acpi_video_set_dmi_backlight_type(acpi_backlight_vendor);
This acpi_video_set_dmi_backlight_type(acpi_backlight_vendor) call must be
removed because other changes in this series change the native backlight
drivers to no longer unconditionally register their backlight. Instead
these drivers now do this check:
if (acpi_video_get_backlight_type(false) != acpi_backlight_native)
return 0; /* bail */
So leaving this in place can break things on laptops with a broken
DMI chassis-type, which would have GPU native brightness control before
the addition of the acpi_video_get_backlight_type() != native check.
Removing this should be ok now, since the ACPI video code has improved
heuristics for this itself now (which includes a chassis-type check).

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
