Henrique de Moraes Holschuh 0e501834f8 thinkpad-acpi: rework brightness support ... Refactor and redesign the brightness control backend... In order to fix bugzilla #11750... Add a new brightness control mode: support direct NVRAM checkpointing of the backlight level (i.e. store directly to NVRAM without the need for UCMS calls), and use that together with the EC-based control. Disallow UCMS+EC, thus avoiding races with the SMM firmware. Switch the models that define HBRV (EC Brightness Value) in the DSDT to the new mode. These are: T40-T43, R50-R52, R50e, R51e, X31-X41. Change the default for all other IBM ThinkPads to UCMS-only. The Lenovo models already default to UCMS-only.
