Bug description:
  [Impact]
  New Dell AIO platforms requires a driver that ​can communicate with the 
scalar IC FW through UART interface to get and set the brightness level.

  [Test]
  Verified on some new Dell machines and confirmed it works.

  [Fix]
  Write a new driver to handle this task.

  [Regression Potential]
  Low, it's a new driver for new interface.

  [Misc]
  Upstream maintainer ask use to re-implement this driver by the new 
  interface, serdev, but serdev seems doesn't work with ACPI, so submit 
  this driver as Ubuntu sauce patch for now. I'll try re-write it when I'm
  available.
