Henrique de Moraes Holschuh a3f104c02a ACPI: thinkpad-acpi: support 16 levels of brightness (v3)
Lenovo ThinkPads often have 16 brightness levels in EC, and not just eight
levels like older ThinkPads.  They also have standard ACPI backlight
brightness control.

We detect the number of brightness levels by the presence of a BCLL package
with 16 entries.  If BCLL is not there, we assume eight levels (Z6*).  If
it is there, but it doesn't have 16 entries, we assume eight levels (T60).
Otherwise we assume sixteen levels (T61, X61, etc).

We don't use _BCL because it can have side-effects in thinkpads.  Thanks to
Thomas Renninger <trenn@suse.de> for notifying me of this potential
problem.

Using the standard ACPI backlight brightness control *instead* of the
native thinkpad backlight control is a better idea, though.  A different
patch will take care of this.
