Subject: [PATCH] ACPI video: dmi check for broken _BQC on Acer Aspire 5720

On Acer Aspire 5720, _BQC always returns a value 9 smaller than
the actual brightness level.  Add dmi quirk for this laptop.

we can add __init to video_set_bqc_offset

we can delete the flag used to guard the add, and simply add 0 on
non-workaround machines.

we can move the use up with the definition, say, like this?

thanks,
