Subject: [PATCH v4 3/3] ACPI video: Fix applying indexed initial brightness value.

The value initially read via _BQC also needs to be offset by 2 to
compensate for the first 2 special items in _BCL. Introduce a helper
function that does the BQC-value-to-level conversion in order to not
needlessly duplicate code.
