Due to scaling, the userspace and hardware brightness ranges might not
have a 1:1 mapping, causing the backlight class sysfs actual_brightness
not match the brightness attribute just written. While this is not a
strict requirement per Documentation/ABI/stable/sysfs-class-backlight,
try the userspace->hardware scaling for a match first and return the
cached value to not confuse userspace.

The problem was already mitigated by

commit 673e7bbdb3920b62cfc6c710bea626b0a9b0f43a
Author: U. Artie Eoff <ullysses.a.eoff@intel.com>
Date:   Mon Sep 29 15:49:32 2014 -0700

    drm/i915: intel_backlight scale() math WA

but this should be more robust for cases where the userspace expects
actual_brightness to match the just written brightness.

Talked about this with Daniel a while back, his take was, "preemptively
catering to bonghits userspace means we'll have less wiggle-room in the
future"
