The tp_features.bright_acpimode will not be set correctly for brightness
control because ACPI_VIDEO_HID will not be located in ACPI. As a result,
a duplicated key event will always be sent. acpi_video_backlight_support()
is sufficient to detect standard ACPI brightness control.

Hi,
I tested the patch on thinkpad x200 and x220, and the brightness up/down key presses will no longer generate a duplicated event, i.e. output from "sudo showkey".

Best Regards,
