[PATCH] acpi: add backlight support to the sony_acpi driver (v2)

[Alessandro Guido <alessandro.guido@gmail.com>]

Enable the sony_acpi driver to use the backlight subsysyem for
adjusting the monitor brightness. Old way of changing the brightness will be
still available for compatibility with existing tools.
