UBUNTU: SAUCE: (no-up) ACPI: Disable Windows 8 compatibility for some Lenovo ThinkPads
The AML implementation for brightness control on several ThinkPads contains a workaround to meet a Windows 8 requirement of 101 brightness levels [1]. The implementation is flawed, as only 16 of the brighness values reported by _BCL affect a change in brightness. _BCM silently discards the rest of the values. Disabling Windows 8 compatibility on these machines reverts them to the old behavior, making _BCL only report the 16 brightness levels which actually work. Add a quirk to do this along with a dmi callback to disable Win8 compatibility.
