Thanks again for the help.

This message is from the dGPU which is not connected to any displays so it can
be ignored.  The backlight control is properly initialized on the APU which is
the chip that controls the backlight.

What the brightness keys do is up to the OEM.  On most modern laptops, they
tend to just generate key press events rather than actually changing the
brightness or generating acpi events.  It's up to the desktop environment to
map that event to the brightness controls exposed by the kernel.
