ACPI: video: Add new hw_changes_brightness quirk, set it on PB Easynote MZ35
Some machines change the brightness themselves when a brightness hotkey gets pressed, despite us telling them not to. This causes the brightness to go two steps up / down when the hotkey is pressed. This is esp. a problem on older machines with only a few brightness levels. This commit adds a new hw_changes_brightness quirk which makes acpi_video_device_notify() only call backlight_force_update(..., BACKLIGHT_UPDATE_HOTKEY) and not do anything else, notifying userspace that the brightness was changed and leaving it at that fixing the dual step problem.
