SRU justification:
Impact: With the introduction of the upstream acpi backlight handling we
introduced a inverse check which causes the acer-wmi driver only to be active
if the acpi driver is present.
Fix: Invert the check.
Testcase: Without acpi support on acer laptops, there is no backlight control
device.
Note: there still seems to be another problem with the acer-wmi interface in
general but this is definitely a required step to the solution.
