[PATCH] acpi: video: improve quirk check

[Felipe Contreras <felipe.contreras@gmail.com>]

If the _BCL package is descending, the first level (br->levels[2]) will
be 0, and if the number of levels matches the number of steps, we might
confuse a returned level to mean the index.

For example:

  current_level = max_level = 100
  test_level = 0
  returned level = 100

In this case 100 means the level, not the index, and _BCM failed. But if
the _BCL package is descending, the index of level 0 is also 100, so we
assume _BQC is indexed, when it's not.

This causes all _BQC calls to return bogus values causing weird behavior
from the user's perspective. For example: xbacklight -set 10; xbacklight
-set 20; would flash to 90% and then slowly down to the desired level
(20).

The solution is simple; test anything other than the first level (e.g.
1).

On top of this we might want to test yet another value, because br->levels[3]
might be the current value (although very unlikely).
