NACK for 5.15 (and earlier) - the nvidia-wmi-ec-backlight driver is not
present in the older LTS branches.

I suppose this patch could be useful for distro kernels which have
backported that driver, but I'm not sure if it's then supposed to be the
distro's responsibility to also backport quirks that affect other code
they have backported. If the intention is to relieve distros of that
responsibility, I suppose this is harmless enough.

I'll drop it on 5.15 and earlier, thanks!
