Per your DSDT, in _BCM method, it write a value to the BRTS register in EC, I
believe this register handle brightness level:

                Method (_BCM, 1, NotSerialized)
                {  
                    Divide (Arg0, 0x0A, Local0, Local1)
                    Decrement (Local1)
                    Store (Local1, ^^^LPCB.EC0.BRTS)
                }

But, look like the EC firmware didn't change brightness when BRTS modified,
that's not make sense because it must be works on Windows 7. Your dmesg on
comment #14 confirm we are running the same logic path with Windows 7. 

Next step is: we need to make sure the _BCM store value to BRTS is success, we
need monitor the EC's memory block.

I will find a good way for you to monitor it, might need EC expert's help.
