All the inverted brightness machines we've seen have been gen4 and
Acer/Packard Bell. I suspect there's something amiss in our backlight
handling and at least for current platforms I don't want to merge
quirks before we've reasonably proven that we really need them. Which
means someone should show that Windows has specific code for this HP
laptop first ...

One thing I remember is that there's a linearization table in the vbt
somewhere, maybe that does the trick. Or we simply race our driver
against something in the firmware and inverting the brightness here
cures that.
