+Subject: thinkpad-acpi: fix incorrect use of TPACPI_BRGHT_MODE_ECNVRAM
+To: stable@kernel.org
+Cc: linux-acpi@vger.kernel.org, ibm-acpi-devel@lists.sourceforge.net

+From: Henrique de Moraes Holschuh <hmh@hmh.eng.br>
+
+HBRV-based default selection of backlight control strategy didn't work
+well, at least the X41 defines it but doesn't use it and I don't think
+it will stop there. Switch to a blacklist, and make sure only Radeon-
+based models get ECNVRAM.
+
+Symptoms of incorrect backlight mode selection are:
+
+1. Non-working backlight control through sysfs;
+
+2. Backlight gets reset to the lowest level at every shutdown, reboot
+ and when thinkpad-acpi gets unloaded;
+
+This fixes a regression in 2.6.30, bugzilla #13826. This fix is
+already present on 2.6.31.
+
+This is a minimal patch for 2.6.30-stable, based on mainline
