Subject: [PATCH] ACPI / video: ignore BIOS initial backlight value for HP m4

commit fedbe9bc6fd3e14b1ffbb3dac407777ac4a3650c upstream.

On HP m4 lapops, BIOS reports minimum backlight on boot and
causes backlight to dim completely. This ignores the initial backlight
values and set to max brightness.
