The descending order is to keep the original behavior.

Before this patch, it breaks out of the loop as early as possible, so
the lower numbered device is picked.
This patch makes it only break out of the loop when ACPI_VIDEO_HID
device is found.
So if there are more than one device that meet "cmd & (PCI_COMMAND_IO
| PCI_COMMAND_MEMORY)", higher numbered device will be selected.
So the traverse order reversal is to keep the original behavior.

There's only one integrated GPU on the affected system.

The approach is to keep the list traversal in one pass.
Is there any regression introduce by this patch?
If that's the case, we can separate the logic and find the
ACPI_VIDEO_HID in second pass.
