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.
