It works on hardware other than Macbook Pros, and it works on GPUs other
than Nvidia. It should even work on iMacs, so change the name to match
reality more precisely and include an alias so existing users don't get
confused.

The SMI-based backlight control functionality may fail to work if the
system is running under EFI rather than BIOS. Check that the hardware
responds as expected, and exit if it doesn't.

This driver only has to deal with two different classes of hardware, but
right now it needs new DMI entries for every new machine. It turns out
that there's an ACPI device that uniquely identifies Apples with backlights,
so this patch reworks the driver into an ACPI one, identifies the hardware
by checking the PCI vendor of the root bridge and strips out all the DMI
code. It also changes the config text to clarify that it works on devices
other than Macbook Pros and GPUs other than nvidia.

There may be multiple ways of controlling the backlight on a given
machine. Allow drivers to expose the type of interface they are
providing, making it possible for userspace to make appropriate policy
decisions.

Fix DMI_SYS_VENDOR for MacBook1,1.
When the MacBook1,1 came out Apple was still named Apple Computer, I am
not sure if this applies to older MacBook2,1 versions aswell.

Values such as max_brightness should be set before backlights are
registered, but the current API doesn't allow that. Add a parameter to
backlight_device_register and update drivers to ensure that they
set this correctly.

This patch adds support for the new Apple models incorporating an Nvidia
chipset. Apple still uses the same protocol as on older models, but the
registers moved to a different address. To do this, two sets of functions
are added for the Intel/Nvidia chipset models and passed by the DMI_MATCH
function.
The initial code has been contributed by Hu Gang <hugang@soulinfo.com>.
The driver is known to work on MacBook Pro 3, MacBook Pro 4 and MacBook
Pro 5.
Its known to work with limitations on MacBook 5 / MacBook Air 2. Changing
brightness within X doesn't work, if using Nvidia's proprietary graphics
driver with no known fix at present. Changing brightness on a text console
or using the open-source driver does work.
MacBook Pro 5 has a known bug where the initial brightness after bootup is
the last recently used brightness (in Mac OSX), while the firmware reports
maximum. Impossible to fix.

Nvidia-based Apple Macbook Pros don't appear to handle backlight control
through the graphics card registers or ACPI, but instead trigger changes
via SMI calls. This driver registers a generic backlight device that
lets existing userspace deal with it. Code derived from Julien Blache's
Pommed application.
