Title:
  [Lenovo T540p, W540] Backlight interfaces not fully working

Status in linux-lts-raring package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released
Status in linux-lts-saucy package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  This is a system installed with 12.04.3.

  Brightness can be controlled in "Systems Settings" > "Brightness and
  Lock" > Brightness slider.

  However there are three interfaces,

  /sys/class/backlight$ ls
  acpi_video0  acpi_video1  intel_backlight

  By controlling each interfaces as following command:
  $ sudo sh -c 'echo 80 > brightness'

  here is the findings:

  acpi_video*/brighness can be only controll by particular values like,
  80, 40, 22, 12, 8, 5 ,3,1

  intel_backlight/brightness can adjust from 0 to 4789.

  three interfaces are not synchronized, this cause an issue for other
  tools that uses acpi_video0 or acpi_video1 on this system.
