[PATCH v2] Add backlight driver for Nvidia-based Apple Macbook Pros

[Matthew Garrett <mjg59@srcf.ucam.org>]

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.

Fixed the DMI strings and changed the capitalisation of "MacBook" in the 
Kconfig text.
