Values such as max_brightness should be set before backlights are
registered, but the current API doesn't allow that. Add a parameter to
backlight_device_register and update drivers to ensure that they
set this correctly.

This patch adds support for the new Apple models incorporating an Nvidia
chipset. Apple still uses the same protocol as on older models, but the
registers moved to a different address. To do this, two sets of functions
are added for the Intel/Nvidia chipset models and passed by the DMI_MATCH
function.
The initial code has been contributed by Hu Gang <hugang@soulinfo.com>.
The driver is known to work on MacBook Pro 3, MacBook Pro 4 and MacBook
Pro 5.
Its known to work with limitations on MacBook 5 / MacBook Air 2. Changing
brightness within X doesn't work, if using Nvidia's proprietary graphics
driver with no known fix at present. Changing brightness on a text console
or using the open-source driver does work.
MacBook Pro 5 has a known bug where the initial brightness after bootup is
the last recently used brightness (in Mac OSX), while the firmware reports
maximum. Impossible to fix.
[akpm@linux-foundation.org: build fix]

Use new MODULE_DEVICE_TABLE(dmi, ...) facility. There's no need for
every driver to screw it up for themselves, when the alias can be
generated automatically.

Nvidia-based Apple Macbook Pros don't appear to handle backlight control
through the graphics card registers or ACPI, but instead trigger changes
via SMI calls. This driver registers a generic backlight device that
lets existing userspace deal with it. Code derived from Julien Blache's
Pommed application.
