Bug description:
  == SRU Justification ==

  Impact:
  Buggy ACPI table causes brightness unable to be adjusted, which means
  certification testing also fails.

  Fix:
  Quirk this model so that it no longer follows the Win8 AML path.

  Testcase:
  Test brightness adjustment on the machine. Already verified by test
  kernel on LP#1231305.

  --------

  CID: 201304-13196 Dell Inspiron 5537

  Unable to adjust the screen brightness on this system.
  Tested with 3.8.0-29 and 3.8.0-30 kernel.

  Step:
  1. Install 12.04.3 and boot to desktop.
  2. Try to adjust brightness with the brightness keys.
  2. Try to adjust brightness in "Brightness and Lock" of System settings.

  Expected result:
  Brightness could be adjusted by using the brightness keys and by adjusting in "Brightness and Lock" of System settings.

  Actual result:
  1. Brightness keys events (keycode 224/225) were captured, but the brightness cannot be adjusted. Brightness level indiciator only changes between Max and Max - 1
  2. Brightness cannot be adjusted in "Brightness and Lock" of System settings.
