Prevent ACPI video from reporting brightness keyevents if the driver
already adjust the brightness, or userspace app will adjust the brightness
value again.

We should distinguish keyevent from uevent, keyevent is used to inform the
usespace app to do what the meaning of the key is.
And uevent is used to say that the required action is already taken,
userspace app could monitor uevent to show OSD or do any kind of
notification they want.
The backlight subsystem will emit the uevent once the brightness had
changed, so ACPI video driver doesn't have to report the keyevent.
