That makes (some) sense. I had never noticed this, but the ACPI
standard does document _BQC as "optional".
That said, picking 100% is probably not what we want here. The _BCM
method returns a list whose first two elements are the default
brightness with AC connected and the brightness when on battery. We
should use those instead.
Now checking whether AC has been plugged in probably can't be done
within the attach function. But maybe that can be done in a mountroot
hook.
