There were two instances of code to control the panel backlight and
neither handled the complete set of device variations.
Fixes:
Bug 29716 - [GM965] Regression: Backlight resets to minimum when changing resolution
https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=29716
And a bug on one of my PineView boxes which overflowed the backlight
value.
Incorporates part of a similar patch by Matthew Garrett that exposes a
native Intel backlight controller.

It is recommended that we use the Video BIOS tables that were copied
into the OpRegion during POST when initialising the driver. This saves
us from having to furtle around inside the ROM ourselves and possibly
allows the vBIOS to adjust the tables prior to initialisation.
On some systems, such as the Samsung N210, there is no accessible VBIOS
and the only means of finding the VBT is through the OpRegion.
v2: Rearrange the code so that ASLE is enabled along with ACPI
v3: Enable OpRegion parsing even without ACPI

It's part of the generic Intel driver infrastructure so rename it in
prepreparation for using it for VBT.
