ACPI / video: improve quirk check in acpi_video_bqc_quirk()
If the _BCL package ordering is descending, the first level (br->levels[2]) is likely to be 0, and if the number of levels matches the number of steps, we might confuse a returned level to mean the index. For example: current_level = max_level = 100 test_level = 0 returned level = 100 In this case 100 means the level, not the index, and _BCM failed. Still, if the _BCL package ordering is descending, the index of level 0 is also 100, so we assume _BQC is indexed, when it's not. This causes all _BQC calls to return bogus values causing weird behavior from the user's perspective. For example: xbacklight -set 10; xbacklight -set 20; would flash to 90% and then slowly down to the desired level (20). The solution is simple; test anything other than the first level (e.g. 1).
