Screen brightness is reset when Chromebook restarts

Reported by msmig...@gmail.com, Nov 9 2016

Issue description

UserAgent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; CrOS armv7l 8743.76.0) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/54.0.2840.79 Safari/537.36
Platform: 8743.76.0 (Official Build) stable-channel veyron_minnie

Steps to reproduce the problem:
I have an Asus Flip on the latest stable channel. I have my screen brightness set as low as possible to maximize my battery life. I find that if I restart my Chromebook, upon restart the screen brightness is much higher than it was before. It should be the same as it was when restarted.

To simulate:
1. Set your screen brightness to something low-ish.
2. Restart the Chromebook.
3. When fully restarted, note that the brightness is set higher than it was before the restart.

What is the expected behavior?
The screen brightness should be persisted upon restart.

What went wrong?
The screen brightness is not persisted upon restart.

Did this work before? N/A

Doesn't this work as intended?

"n the past, the previous user-configured level was restored at boot, but this was deliberately removed. A given device is frequently used in many different environments: dark rooms, well-lit rooms with lots of ambient light, etc. We decided that always booting with a reasonable default brightness was preferable to sometimes restoring a blindingly-high brightness when booting in a dark room or restoring an extremely-dim brightness when booting in a bright room"

Good catch
