 The kernel can't deal with this due to the insanity that is ACPI and non-ACPI
 backlight controls, so lets just hope this works instead!

The changes look good to me.


 I've only tested this on my T60p ancient piece of crap, appreciate any testing
 anyone can give it.

It doesn't actually create the properties on this PowerBook, but I'm
sure that can be worked out later on.
