SRU Justification:

Impact:
There will be no /sys/class/backlight/acpi_video0 if there are duplicate
ACPI video bus devices.
In this case, user can't adjust the brightness through ACPI interface.

Fix:
This issue was been fixed after v3.6-rc1,
by bisecting the upstream kernel and got this commit.

Test:
Tested on Dell's new AIO machine.
