From: Henrique de Moraes Holschuh <hmh@xxxxxxxxxx> The backlight class does all the locking needed for sysfs access, but offers no API to interface to that locking without an layer violation. Since we need to mutex-lock procfs access, implement in-driver locking for brightness. It will go away the day thinkpad-acpi procfs goes away, or the backlight class gives us a way to use its locks without a layer violation.
