Pali Rohár 9216e0dcb5 platform/x86: dell-laptop: Add keyboard backlight timeout AC settings
When changing keyboard backlight state on new Dell laptops, firmware
expects a new timeout AC value filled in Set New State SMBIOS call.

Without it any change of keyboard backlight state on new Dell laptops
fails. And user can see following error message in dmesg:

  dell_laptop: Setting old previous keyboard state failed
  leds dell::kbd_backlight: Setting an LED's brightness failed (-6)

This patch adds support for retrieving current timeout AC values and also
updating them. Current timeout value in sysfs is displayed based on current
AC status, like current display brightness value.

Detection if Dell laptop supports or not new timeout AC settings is done by
checking existence of Keyboard Backlight with AC SMBIOS token (0x0451).

Linux kernel
============

This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst

Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users.
These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
