+CC Greg KH.  (resent as I messed up Greg's address first time around)

Hi Greg,

This is a regression fix that I'd like to get in asap. Currently light sensors
on a wide range of laptops are broken.  I was hoping we'd fix the the problem
rather than need to revert, but time is running out so revert it is.

I don't have anything else that needs to be rushed in before the merge cycle,
so if you are happy to pick these two reverts directly that would be great.

If not I should be able to do a pull request in next couple of days
with these in.

Thanks,

Jonathan
