[ltp] thinkpad_acpi messages on brightness

[Timothy Murphy]

My /var/log/messages is filled with thousands  of messages like
-----------------------------------------------------
Sep  7 15:25:50 carrie kernel: thinkpad_acpi: 
  CMOS NVRAM (0) and EC (1) do not agree on display brightness level
-----------------------------------------------------
I just checked, and this message is being repeated over 40 times per second.

1. Is there any way of stopping these messages?

2. Shouldn't there in any case be some mechanism for preventing
this kind of repetition?
In other cases one is simply told that the message was repeated many times.
