Hans de Goede 3e4915873c ACPI / video: Only default only_lcd to true on Win8-ready _desktops_ 
commit 53fa1f6e8a upstream.

Commit 5928c28152 (ACPI / video: Default lcd_only to true on Win8-ready
and newer machines) made only_lcd default to true on all machines where
acpi_osi_is_win8() returns true, including laptops.

The purpose of this is to avoid the bogus / non-working acpi backlight
interface which many newer BIOS-es define on desktop machines.

But this is causing a regression on some laptops, specifically on the
Dell XPS 13 2013 model, which does not have the LCD flag set for its
fully functional ACPI backlight interface.

Rather then DMI quirking our way out of this, this commits changes the
logic for setting only_lcd to true, to only do this on machines with
a desktop (or server) dmi chassis-type.

Note that we cannot simply only check the chassis-type and not register
the backlight interface based on that as there are some laptops and
tablets which have their chassis-type set to "3" aka desktop. Hopefully
the combination of checking the LCD flag, but only on devices with
a desktop(ish) chassis-type will avoid the needs for DMI quirks for this,
or at least limit the amount of DMI quirks which we need to a minimum.

README 

Linux kernel
============

This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst

Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users.
These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

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.
