thinkpad-acpi: fix incorrect use of TPACPI_BRGHT_MODE_ECNVRAM
HBRV-based default selection of backlight control strategy didn't work well, at least the X41 defines it but doesn't use it and I don't think it will stop there. Switch to a blacklist, and make sure only Radeon- based models get ECNVRAM. Symptoms of incorrect backlight mode selection are: 1. Non-working backlight control through sysfs; 2. Backlight gets reset to the lowest level at every shutdown, reboot and when thinkpad-acpi gets unloaded; This fixes a regression in 2.6.30, bugzilla #13826. This fix is already present on 2.6.31. This is a minimal patch for 2.6.30-stable, based on mainline commits: 050df107, 7d95a3d5, 59fe4fe3, 6da25bf5 Signed-off-by:Henrique de Moraes Holschuh <hmh@hmh.eng.br> Reported-by:
