From: Greg Kroah-Hartman
Date: Mon Jul 07 2014 - 20:04:50 EST


3.4-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Gustavo Maciel Dias Vieira <gustavo@xxxxxxxxx>

commit 771d09b3c4c45d4d534a83a68e6331b97fd82e15 upstream.

On a HP Pavilion dm4 laptop the BIOS sets minimum backlight on boot,
completely dimming the screen. Ignore this initial value for this
machine.
