Fix autoloading of MacBook Pro backlight driver.

Use new MODULE_DEVICE_TABLE(dmi, ...) facility. There's no need for
every driver to screw it up for themselves, when the alias can be
generated automatically.

backlight: Add Nvidia-based Apple Macbook Pro backlight driver

Nvidia-based Apple Macbook Pros don't appear to handle backlight control
through the graphics card registers or ACPI, but instead trigger changes
via SMI calls. This driver registers a generic backlight device that
lets existing userspace deal with it. Code derived from Julien Blache's
Pommed application.
