Bug Description

In krillin rtm image 72, I noticed a strange behavior for the automatic brightness adjustment. If I enable this setting in a very dark room, the backlight gets dimmed so far that it actually shuts off.

It should probably make sure the backlight never goes all the way to zero...

To trigger this bug:
1. Go into a very dark room.
2. Pull down the battery indicator, and enable the option for "Adjust brightness automatically".
3. Watch as the screen turns black.
4. Shine a light at the screen, and watch as the backlight turns on again.

This is an important issue, only seems to happen on krillin, and feels like the device is broken, because the screen will flash briefly when you resume.
