From 217f09631a420295a9688e18aa4dbad1b385e56c Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Henrique de Moraes Holschuh Date: Mon, 9 Aug 2010 23:48:19 -0300 Subject: [PATCH] thinkpad-acpi: untangle ACPI/vendor backlight selection acpi_video_backlight_support() already tells us if ACPI is handling backlight control through the generic ACPI handle. It is better to just trust it. While at it, adjust down a printk priority, and test earlier for brightness_enable=0.
