[RESEND PATCH 4/6] ACPI video: support reversed _BCL method in ACPI video driver

[Zhang Rui]

Subject: support reversed _BCL method in ACPI video driver
From: Zhang Rui <rui.zhang@intel.com>

The brightness levels returned by _BCL package are in a reversed order
on some laptops.

sort the _BCL packge in case it's reversed.
