ACPI: thinkpad-acpi: fix brightness dimming control bug
ibm-acpi and thinkpad-acpi did not know about bit 5 of the EC backlight
level control register (EC 0x31), so it was always forced to zero on
any writes.
This would disable the BIOS option to *not* use a dimmer backlight level
scale while on battery, and who knows what else (there are two other
control bits of unknown function).
Bit 5 controls the "reduce backlight levels when on battery" optional
functionality (active low). Bits 6 and 7 are better left alone as well,
instead of being forced to zero.
