Change the type for the registered backlight class device from platform to raw/native. The poulsbo/cedarview/oaktrail backlight support is using native GPU backlight control and as such the type should be raw (aka native) as is done by all the other native GPU backlight driver code. Note this will not change much from userspace's point of view. poulsbo/cedarview laptops typically offer both an ACPI-video backlight interface as well as the native GPU backlight interface. The /sys/class/backlight/acpi_video0 has a type of firmware and userspace typically looks for firmware devices before looking for platform devices. The typical standard lookup order is: firmware -> platform -> raw This means that both before and after this change typical userspace backlight consumers (sich as e.g. GNOME) will prefer the firmware acpi_video0 backlight device. This has been tested on a Packard Bell Dot SC (Intel Atom N2600, cedarview) and a Sony Vaio vpc-x11s1e (Intel N540, poulsbo) laptop.

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.
