acpi_video_backlight_support() is supposed to be called by other (vendor
specific) firmware backlight controls, not by native / raw backlight controls
like nv_backlight.
Userspace will normally prefer firmware interfaces over raw interfaces, so
if acpi_video backlight support is present it will use that even if
nv_backlight is registered as well.
Except when video.use_native_backlight is present on the kernel cmdline
(or enabled through a dmi based quirk). As the name indicates the goal here
is to make only the raw interface available to userspace so that it will use
that (it only does this when it sees a win8 compliant bios).
This is done by:
1) Not registering any acpi_video# backlight devices; and
2) Making acpi_video_backlight_support() return true so that other firmware
drivers, ie acer_wmi, thinkpad_acpi, dell_laptop, etc. Don't register their
own vender specific interfaces.
Currently nouveau breaks this setup, as when acpi_video_backlight_support()
returns true, it does not register itself, resulting in no backlight control
at all.
This is esp. going to be a problem with 3.16 which will default to
video.use_native_backlight=1, and thus nouveau based laptops with a win8 bios
will get no backlight control at all.
This also likely explains why the previous attempt to make
video.use_native_backlight=1 the default was not a success, as without this
patch having a default of video.use_native_backlight=1 will cause regressions.
Note this effectively reverts commit

The Direct Rendering Manager (drm) is a device-independent kernel-level
device driver that provides support for the XFree86 Direct Rendering
Infrastructure (DRI).
The DRM supports the Direct Rendering Infrastructure (DRI) in four major
ways:
1. The DRM provides synchronized access to the graphics hardware via
the use of an optimized two-tiered lock.
2. The DRM enforces the DRI security policy for access to the graphics
hardware by only allowing authenticated X11 clients access to
restricted regions of memory.
3. The DRM provides a generic DMA engine, complete with multiple
queues and the ability to detect the need for an OpenGL context
switch.
4. The DRM is extensible via the use of small device-specific modules
that rely extensively on the API exported by the DRM module.
Documentation on the DRI is available from:
http://dri.freedesktop.org/wiki/Documentation
