[Impact]
On some ThinkPads, the BIOS reported invalid acpi backlight implement .
Then backlight can't be changed because OS use acpi backlight by
default.
[Fix]
Check acpi backlight mode, disable it if invalid.
[Test Case]
Verified on 3 models of thinkpad include Intel/NV/AMD GPU with positive
results.
[Regression Potential]
Low
Most ThinkPads now use native backlight control by default.
Check the false acpi mode correctly.
