Sadly, I'm not a GPU driver developer but a backlight one.
All I can say about your backlight is: its functionality should be provided by
the i915 GPU driver. Please pay attention to the bug's category. After I get an
understanding of the problem, I probably should move the bug to another
category but I'm not sure where: i915 is not using kernel bugzilla and I'm not
sure if this is their problem; I doubt if there is anyone looking at the
nouveau driver issue if I move it to DRM/non-intel.

I don't understand GPU driver so...
I think Jozef's suggestion is good and you should try that.
