Subject: ACPI / video: ignore BIOS initial backlight value for HP m4
From: Alex Hung <alex.hung@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>
commit fedbe9bc6fd3e14b1ffbb3dac407777ac4a3650c upstream.
On HP m4 lapops, BIOS reports minimum backlight on boot and
causes backlight to dim completely. This ignores the initial backlight
values and set to max brightness.
