Patch Thinkpad X201T backlight

Patch Thinkpad X201T backlight

[Ralf Gerbig]

Hi,

the X201 Tablet needs the same treatmant as the X201s,
otherwise you can't change levels.

The patch is against 4.5.5 stable, but should apply to all recent
kernels.

Please be gentle, I am neither a programmer nor a developer.

If you have questions, feel free to ask, but don't expect an answer in
the next 10 to 20 days (going to hospital).

Regards,

Ralf Gerbig

I guess /sys/class/backlight/intel_backlight interface doesn't work?

Hope you are well.
Can you please, when you have time, attach your acpidump?
Perhaps file a new bug @https://bugzilla.kernel.org under
ACPI/Power-Video category and put the acpidump there, thanks.

Aaron
