thinkpad-acpi: forbid the use of HBRV on Lenovo ThinkPads



Forcing thinkpad-acpi to do EC-based brightness control (HBRV) on a
X61 has very... interesting effects, instead of doing nothing (since
it doesn't have EC-based backlight control), it causes "weirdness" in
the fan tachometer readings, for example.

This means the EC register that used to be HBRV has been reused by
Lenovo for something else, but they didn't remove it from the DSDT.

Make sure the documentation reflects this data, and forbid the user
from forcing the driver to access HBRV on Lenovo ThinkPads.
