Subject: ACPI video: ignore BIOS initial backlight value for HP 1000
From: Alex Hung <[email protected]>
commit 4ef366c583d6180b1c951147869ee5a3038834f2 upstream.
On HP 1000 lapops, BIOS reports minimum backlight on boot and
causes backlight to dim completely. This ignores the initial backlight
values and set to max brightness.
