SubjectRe: [PATCH v3 4/4] thinkpad-acpi: fix handle locate for video and query of _BCL

ACPI video is supposed to attach a virtual HID node (ACPI_VIDEO_HID) to ACPI
video devices so as to keep the non-trivial video device detection logic in
just one place instead of reinventing the wheel in every driver (which is
always a recipe for disaster).

When did that break?
