ACPI: thinkpad-acpi: allow use of CMOS NVRAM for brightness control

It appears that Lenovo decided to break the EC brightness control interface
in a weird way in their latest BIOSes.  Fortunately, the old CMOS NVRAM
interface works just fine in such BIOSes.

Add a module parameter that allows the user to select which strategy to use
for brightness control: EC, NVRAM, or both.  By default, do both (which is
the way thinkpad-acpi used to work until now) on IBM ThinkPads, and use
NVRAM only on Lenovo ThinkPads.

The backlight control has eight levels, ranging from 0 to 7. Some of the
levels may not be distinct.
There are two interfaces to the firmware for brightness control, EC and CMOS.
To select which one should be used, use the brightness_mode module parameter:
brightness_mode=1 selects EC mode, brightness_mode=2 selects CMOS mode,
brightness_mode=3 selects both EC and CMOS. The driver tries to autodetect
which interface to use.
