The GIGABYTE GB-BXBT-2807 is a mini-PC which uses off the shelf
components, like an Intel GPU which is meant for mobile systems.
As such, it, by default, has a backlight controller exposed.

Unfortunately, the backlight controller only confuses userspace, which
sees the existence of a backlight device node and has the unrealistic
belief that there is actually a backlight there!

Add a DMI quirk to force the backlight off on this system.

History
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 Restructured Text 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.
