Subject: [PATCH] acpi/video: Don't restore backlight to 0 at boot time
If the initial ACPI reported backlight level is zero, or larger than
max_level, then ignore it and set the level back to the current level
instead. This avoids ending up with a black screen on an HP Pavilion
G series G4 notebook QE040UA#ABA.
