ACPI: OSI: Remove Linux-Dell-Video _OSI string
This string was introduced because drivers for NVIDIA hardware had bugs supporting RTD3 in the past. Before proprietary NVIDIA driver started to support RTD3, Ubuntu had had a mechanism for switching PRIME on and off, though it had required to logout/login to make the library switch happen. When the PRIME had been off, the mechanism had unloaded the NVIDIA driver and put the device into D3cold, but the GPU had never come back to D0 again which is why ODMs used the _OSI to expose an old _DSM method to switch the power on/off. That has been fixed by commit 5775b84 ("PCI: Restore config space on runtime resume despite being unbound"). so vendors shouldn't be using this string to modify ASL any more.
