backlight: Add support for MacBook 5, MacBook Air 2, and MacBook Pro 5
This patch adds support for the new Apple models incorporating an Nvidia chipset. Apple still uses the same protocol as on older models, but the registers moved to a different address. To do this, two sets of functions are added for the Intel/Nvidia chipset models and passed by the DMI_MATCH function. The initial code has been contributed by Hu Gang <hugang@soulinfo.com>. The driver is known to work on MacBook Pro 3, MacBook Pro 4 and MacBook Pro 5. Its known to work with limitations on MacBook 5 / MacBook Air 2. Changing brightness within X doesn't work, if using Nvidia's proprietary graphics driver with no known fix at present. Changing brightness on a text console or using the open-source driver does work. MacBook Pro 5 has a known bug where the initial brightness after bootup is the last recently used brightness (in Mac OSX), while the firmware reports maximum. Impossible to fix.
