The quirk to get "acpi_backlight=vendor" behavior by default on the
Dell Inspiron 5737 was added before we started doing
"acpi_backlight=native" by default on Win8 ready machines.

Since we now avoid using acpi-video as backlight driver on these machines
by default (using the native driver instead) we no longer need this quirk.

Moreover the vendor driver does not work after a suspend/resume where
as the native driver does.

This reverts commit 08a56226d847 ("ACPI / video: Add Dell Inspiron 5737
to the blacklist").

OK, but I think we need to limit the range of "stable" kernels this is
going to go into.

What's the least recent "stable" series one you'd like this to be applied to?

3.19 and later have this commit:

https://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/commit/drivers/acpi/video.c?id=fbc9fe1b4f222a7c575e3bd8e9defe59c6190a04

And thus will use native backlight by default, so anything >= 3.19.

OK, applied.

Thanks,
Rafael
