That patch is reverted as it cause problem for other system:
https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=68355

OTOH, the thinkpad-acpi module already has a call to _BCL except that
the tpacpi_acpi_handle_locate failed to locate video controller's handle:
https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=51231#c121
I'll see if I can figure out why.

Thanks,
