Dell All In One (AIO) models released after 2017 use a backlight
controller board connected to an UART.
In DSDT this uart port will be defined as:
Name (_HID, "DELL0501")
Name (_CID, EisaId ("PNP0501")
Commit 484bae9e4d ("platform/x86: Add new Dell UART backlight driver")
has added support for this, but I neglected to tie this into
acpi_video_get_backlight_type().
Now the first AIO has turned up which has not only the DSDT bits for this,
but also an actual controller attached to the UART, yet it is not using
this controller for backlight control.
Add support to acpi_video_get_backlight_type() for a new dell_uart
backlight type. So that the existing infra to override the backlight
control method on the commandline or with DMI quirks can be used.

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 reStructuredText 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.
