	   for firmware interfaces we require the pci ID to
	   match. It's assumed that platform interfaces always match,
	   since we can't actually associate them with IDs.

	   A further awkwardness is that, while it's theoretically
	   possible for an ACPI interface to include support for
	   changing the backlight of external devices, it's unlikely
	   to ever be done. It's effectively impossible for a platform
	   interface to do so. So if we get asked about anything that
	   isn't LVDS or eDP, we pretty much have to require that the
	   control be supplied via a raw interface */
