PATCH [1/3]: Provide generic backlight support in Asus ACPI driver

[Matthew Garrett <mjg59@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Here are some fixed-up versions of my patches to move acpi drivers 
towards using the standard backlight interface. I've kept the dynamic 
allocation of backlight_device for now, since changing that would also 
mean changing the backlight core code and updating other drivers.
