Fix some more problems (inverted use of semaphores in some places).  He
also moved my checks into within the protected section which is better.

Michael Hanselmann cab267c65f [PATCH] powermac backlight fixes
Fix a erroneous calculation of the legacy brightness values as reported by
Paul Collins.  Additionally, it moves the calculation of the negative value
in the radeonfb driver after the value check.

Michael Hanselmann 5474c120aa [PATCH] Rewritten backlight infrastructure for portable Apple computers
This patch contains a total rewrite of the backlight infrastructure for
portable Apple computers.  Backward compatibility is retained.  A sysfs
interface allows userland to control the brightness with more steps than
before.  Userland is allowed to upload a brightness curve for different
monitors, similar to Mac OS X.
