Looks here used the 50% brightness level.

Per comment in video.c, we want set the backlight to max_level when
level_old is invalid:

         if (!br->flags._BQC_use_index) {
                 /*
                  * Set the backlight to the initial state.
                  * On some buggy laptops, _BQC returns an uninitialized value
                  * when invoked for the first time, i.e. level_old is invalid.
                  * set the backlight to max_level in this case
                  */

I think here used max_level to fulfill it, e.g.
	
+		if (level == 0)
+			level = max_level;

How do you think?
Hi Joey,

I was debating with myself which level to be set, ex. 50%, ~75% or 100%, and I think 50% *might* be closer to normal use-case (just a personal guess).

However, "max_level" seems to fit best if we treat the initial zero brightness in invalid. I can modify it according it that's preferred.

Thanks for the feedback.

Cheers,
Alex Hung

Thanks a lot!
