Hans de Goede f64e4275ef ACPI: Fix selecting wrong ACPI fwnode for the iGPU on some Dell laptops
The Dell Latitude E6430 both with and without the optional NVidia dGPU
has a bug in its ACPI tables which is causing Linux to assign the wrong
ACPI fwnode / companion to the pci_device for the i915 iGPU.

Specifically under the PCI root bridge there are these 2 ACPI Device()s :

 Scope (_SB.PCI0)
 {
     Device (GFX0)
     {
         Name (_ADR, 0x00020000)  // _ADR: Address
     }

     ...

     Device (VID)
     {
         Name (_ADR, 0x00020000)  // _ADR: Address
         ...

         Method (_DOS, 1, NotSerialized)  // _DOS: Disable Output Switching
         {
             VDP8 = Arg0
             VDP1 (One, VDP8)
         }

         Method (_DOD, 0, NotSerialized)  // _DOD: Display Output Devices
         {
             ...
         }
         ...
     }
 }

The non-functional GFX0 ACPI device is a problem, because this gets
returned as ACPI companion-device by acpi_find_child_device() for the iGPU.

This is a long standing problem and the i915 driver does use the ACPI
companion for some things, but works fine without it.

However since commit 63f534b8ba ("ACPI: PCI: Rework acpi_get_pci_dev()")
acpi_get_pci_dev() relies on the physical-node pointer in the acpi_device
and that is set on the wrong acpi_device because of the wrong
acpi_find_child_device() return. This breaks the ACPI video code,
leading to non working backlight control in some cases.

Add a type.backlight flag, mark ACPI video bus devices with this and make
find_child_checks() return a higher score for children with this flag set,
so that it picks the right companion-device.

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.
