When changing keyboard backlight state on new Dell laptops, firmware
expects a new timeout AC value filled in Set New State SMBIOS call.

Without it any change of keyboard backlight state on new Dell laptops
fails. And user can see following error message in dmesg:

  dell_laptop: Setting old previous keyboard state failed
  leds dell::kbd_backlight: Setting an LED's brightness failed (-6)

This patch adds support for retrieving current timeout AC values and also
updating them. Current timeout value in sysfs is displayed based on current
AC status, like current display brightness value.

Detection if Dell laptop supports or not new timeout AC settings is done by
checking existence of Keyboard Backlight with AC SMBIOS token (0x0451).

I have not tested this patch yet as I do not have affected machine. I would
appreciate some testing of this patch on more new Dell laptops. Without
this patch changing keyboard backlight is not possible on affected machines.

I've tested the patch over 4.10.10 on Fedora 25 and it works both on and 
off AC power on Dell Precision 7510.
Thanks a lot!

Arcadiy, Pali, thanks for this quick turnaround!
This looks good to me.  I've passed it to my internal team
for any other feedback.

What base did you use for that?
This patch misses few others that were applied to our testing / for-next.

I have applied it to testing with corrected conflict (easy to fix),
though check if everything still as supposed to be.

Pali,

Considering this is negatively affecting folks on stable kernel releases too
when using this newer HW, would you consider to send to @stable too?

Thanks,

In order for this to go back to stable, we will need to include the list of
dependencies per stable-kernel-rules.txt. This can be done after it is merged,
but if you can provide the set of Cc: stable lines needed, we can look at
getting this into testing now so no further action will be required.

...

Upon closer inspection, this does fail the 100 lines including context stable
rule by an additional 55 lines. This is a process issue I've been thinking about
for a while and trying to find the best way to express this problem and what a
viable solution might look like. As it stands, fixes such as these are
effectively limited to current and future kernel versions. I do think there is a
need for vendors to be able to update their drivers upstream to work with current
hardware without requiring a bleeding edge kernel. Perhaps "leaf node drivers"
should have a looser set of stable rules, but that is not currently the way the
upstream stable kernel rules work (at least as far as I understand them).

+Greg KH who has the ultimate say on this. Greg, have I misrepresented anything
here?

I'm fine with it, if Greg or stable maintainers approve this change.

Nope, I usually defer to the maintainer of the subsystem to see if the
patch should be a valid stable patch or not.  So if you think it should
be applied, and it's a "bit" larger than normal, that's fine, no
objection from me.
