When the brightness property is inquired while the backlight is disabled, the driver returns a wrong value (zero) because it probes the value after the backlight was turned off. This caused a black screen even after the backlight is enabled again. It should return the internal backlight_level instead, so that it won't be influenced by the backlight-enable state.
