Ack, I was planning on doing this myself but you beat me to it, thanks for
taking care of this.

Note that 3.17 will have this patch:

https://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/rafael/linux-pm.git/commit/?h=linux-next&id=8ab58e8e7e097bae5fe39cbc67eb93a91f7134b7

Which fixes the 2 steps being taken for one keypress problem while
keeping the acpi brightness_switch behavior enabled, so that people who
have an acpi-video controlled backlight and a userspace which does not
do backlight control (e.g. windowmaker).

So for 3.17 we should IMHO drop the revert-revert and stick with
upstream behavior.

Alternatively we could apply that patch now instead of the revert-revert.

Regards,

Hans
