module_param(bool) used to counter-intuitively take an int. In
fddd5201 (mid-2009) we allowed bool or int/unsigned int using a messy
trick.
It's time to remove the int/unsigned int option. For this version
it'll simply give a warning, but it'll break next kernel version.

This patch depends on the "Platform: Brightness quirk for samsung
laptop driver" patch from Jason Stubbs. This patch adds a check for an
initial brightness level of 0; if the level is 0, this patch changes
the brightness level to 1 before the driver attempts to detect the
brightness quirk.
The Samsung N150 netbook experiences the brightness quirk. Without
Jason's patch, the only brightness levels available on the N150 are 0,
1, and 8. This patch ensures that, when the initial brightness level
is 0, the samsang-laptop driver detects the brightness quirk on the
N150, thereby making brightness levels 0 through 8 available.

This is a follow-up for commit 78a7539b, which didn't cover the
Samsung N220 laptop. With this backlight brightness works nicely
on the N220 netbook.

On some Samsung laptops the brightness regulation works slightly different.
All SABI commands except for set_brightness work as expected. The behaviour
of set_brightness is as follows:
- Setting a new brightness will only step one level toward the new brightness
level. For example, setting a level of 5 when the current level is 2 will
result in a brightness level of 3.
- A spurious KEY_BRIGHTNESS_UP or KEY_BRIGHTNESS_DOWN event is also generated
along with the change in brightness.
- Neither of the above two issues occur when changing from/to brightness
level 0.
This patch adds detection and a non-intrusive workaround for the above issues.

The min_brightness value of the sabi_config is incorrectly used in brightness
calculations. For the config where min_brightness = 1 and max_brightness = 8,
the user visible range should be 0 to 7 with hardware being set in the range
of 1 to 8. What is actually happening is that the user visible range is 0 to
8 with hardware being set in the range of -1 to 7.
This patch fixes the above issue as well as a miscalculation that would occur
in the case of min_brightness > 1.

Some samsung latop of the N150/N2{10,20,30} serie are badly detected by the samsung-laptop platform driver, see bug # 36082.
It appears that N230 identifies itself as N150/N210/N220/N230 whereas the other identify themselves as N150/N210/220.
This patch attemtp fix#36082 allowing correct identification for all the said netbook model.
