This patch hooks into the generic backlight framework and allows the 
brightness of HP laptop displays to be read. The AC and DC values are 
separate, but the framework currently provides no mechanism for them to 
be provided separately and there's no straightforward way for the driver 
to know if the system is on battery or not. As a result, I've put the AC 
brightness in the top 16 bits of the returned value, with the DC 
brightness in the bottom 16.

This patch requires my earlier patch to allow checking against the DMI 
chassis type.
