ACPI: thinkpad-acpi: allow use of CMOS NVRAM for brightness control
It appears that Lenovo decided to break the EC brightness control interface in a weird way in their latest BIOSes. Fortunately, the old CMOS NVRAM interface works just fine in such BIOSes. Add a module parameter that allows the user to select which strategy to use for brightness control: EC, NVRAM, or both. By default, do both (which is the way thinkpad-acpi used to work until now) on IBM ThinkPads, and use NVRAM only on Lenovo ThinkPads.
