This patch does what it is supposed to do, but it isn't clear
if that is a step forward.
I have satellite pro (original centrino about 4 years old)
where toshiba-acpi exports 8 brightness levels,
and acpi exports just 3 (min, 40%, max)
so when i apply this patch, i get fewer brightness levels.
I prefer to have all 8 brightness levels.
