It has been reported that running this driver on some Samsung laptops
with EFI can cause those machines to become bricked as detailed in the
following report,
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu-cdimage/+bug/1040557
There have also been reports of this driver causing Machine Check
Exceptions on recent EFI-enabled Samsung laptops,
https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=47121
So disable it if booting from EFI since this driver relies on
grovelling around in the BIOS memory map which isn't going to work.

On these laptops, the ACPI video is not functional, and very unlikely
to be fixed by the vendor. Note that intel_backlight works for some
of these laptops, and the backlight from samsung-laptop always work.
The good news is that newer laptops have functional ACPI video device
and won't end up growing this list.

This enable the driver for everything that look like
a laptop and is from vendor "SAMSUNG ELECTRONICS CO., LTD.".
Note that laptop supported by samsung-q10 seem to have a different
vendor strict.
Also remove every log output until we know that we have a SABI interface
(except if the driver is forced to load, or debug is enabled).
Keeping a whitelist of laptop with a model granularity is something that can't
work without close vendor cooperation (and we don't have that).

interface can be done like that:

samsung-laptop is not at all related to ACPI, but since this interface
is not documented at all, and the driver has to use it at load to
understand how it works on the laptop, I think it's a good idea to
disable it if a better solution is available.

It's time to remove the int/unsigned int option. For this version
it'll simply give a warning, but it'll break next kernel version.

This patch depends on the "Platform: Brightness quirk for samsung
laptop driver" patch from Jason Stubbs. This patch adds a check for an
initial brightness level of 0; if the level is 0, this patch changes
the brightness level to 1 before the driver attempts to detect the
brightness quirk.
The Samsung N150 netbook experiences the brightness quirk. Without
Jason's patch, the only brightness levels available on the N150 are 0,
1, and 8. This patch ensures that, when the initial brightness level
is 0, the samsang-laptop driver detects the brightness quirk on the
N150, thereby making brightness levels 0 through 8 available.

On some Samsung laptops the brightness regulation works slightly different.
All SABI commands except for set_brightness work as expected. The behaviour
of set_brightness is as follows:
- Setting a new brightness will only step one level toward the new brightness
level. For example, setting a level of 5 when the current level is 2 will
result in a brightness level of 3.
- A spurious KEY_BRIGHTNESS_UP or KEY_BRIGHTNESS_DOWN event is also generated
along with the change in brightness.
- Neither of the above two issues occur when changing from/to brightness
level 0.
This patch adds detection and a non-intrusive workaround for the above issues.

The min_brightness value of the sabi_config is incorrectly used in brightness
calculations. For the config where min_brightness = 1 and max_brightness = 8,
the user visible range should be 0 to 7 with hardware being set in the range
of 1 to 8. What is actually happening is that the user visible range is 0 to
8 with hardware being set in the range of -1 to 7.
This patch fixes the above issue as well as a miscalculation that would occur
in the case of min_brightness > 1.
