Subject: [PATCH] backlight: Avoid restoring brightness to an unreadably dim
 level

Some systems turn the backlight all the way off at the lowest levels.
Clamp saved brightness to at least 1 or 5% of max_brightness.  This
avoids preserving an unreadably dim screen, which would otherwise force
the user to disable state restoration.
