Subject: [PATCH v2] Add backlight driver for Nvidia-based Apple Macbook Pros
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.
Signed-off-by: Matthew Garrett <mjg@...hat.com>

Fixed the DMI strings and changed the capitalisation of "MacBook" in the
Kconfig text.
