drivers/video/backlight/mbp_nvidia_bl.c:114: error: storage sizeof '__mod_dmi_device_table' isn't known

[Alexey Dobriyan]

How can this work, given that MODULE_DEVICE_TABLE line expands into

	extern const struct dmi_device_id __mod_dmi_device_table __attribute__ ((unused, alias("mbp_device_table")));
				^^^^^^
but there is no struct dmi_device_id, there is struct dmi_system_id?

    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.
