[Bug 401591] Re: brightness dark and not working on acer 5715

[Andy Whitcroft]

@alain57 -- you refer two patches associated with that upstream bug.
The second one does look sensible in its own right.  The first of those
is simply a debug patch and not applicable to the general case, and
therefore not applicable to our kernel.  There does appear to be an
updated patch in the bug, but that is predicated by a bunch of other
patches:

According to upstream we would need these patches:
  http://bugzilla.kernel.org/attachment.cgi?id=21801
  http://patchwork.kernel.org/patch/40097/
  http://patchwork.kernel.org/patch/40098/
  http://patchwork.kernel.org/patch/40099/
  http://patchwork.kernel.org/patch/40100/
  http://patchwork.kernel.org/patch/40348/

Then this one:
  http://bugzilla.kernel.org/attachment.cgi?id=22675

I will put together a test kernel with this combination so we can help
push this to mainline.
