    ACPI: video: Fix reversed brightness behavior on ThinkPad SL series

    Section B.6.2 of ACPI 3.0b specification that defines _BCL method
    doesn't require the brightness levels returned to be sorted.
    At least ThinkPad SL300 (and probably all IdeaPads) returns the
    array reversed (i.e. bightest levels have lowest indexes), which
    causes the brightness management behave in completely reversed
    manner on these machines (brightness increases when the laptop is
    idle, while the display dims when used).

    Sorting the array by brightness level values after reading the list
    fixes the issue.
