ACPI: thinkpad-acpi: allow use of CMOS NVRAM for brightness control

It appears that Lenovo decided to break the EC brightness control interface
in a weird way in their latest BIOSes.  Fortunately, the old CMOS NVRAM
interface works just fine in such BIOSes.

Add a module parameter that allows the user to select which strategy to use
for brightness control: EC, NVRAM, or both.  By default, do both (which is
the way thinkpad-acpi used to work until now) on IBM ThinkPads, and use
NVRAM only on Lenovo ThinkPads.

 The backlight control has eight levels, ranging from 0 to 7.  Some of the
 levels may not be distinct.
 
+There are two interfaces to the firmware for brightness control, EC and CMOS.
+To select which one should be used, use the brightness_mode module parameter:
+brightness_mode=1 selects EC mode, brightness_mode=2 selects CMOS mode,
+brightness_mode=3 selects both EC and CMOS.  The driver tries to autodetect
+which interface to use.
