Thanks. this patch fixes my problems w/ compilation. I've tested this
two patches and after apply I have:
$ tree /sys/class/backlight/
/sys/class/backlight/
|-- acpi_video0
-> ../../devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:02.0/backlight/acpi_video0
`-- intel_backlight
-> ../../devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:02.0/drm/card0/card0-LVDS-1/intel_backlight

2 directories, 0 files

I think it's didn't unregistered.. I may forget. I need to apply one of
patch from Matthew ?

Some strings from logs:
DMI: LENOVO 23205NG/23205NG, BIOS G2ET92WW (2.52 ) 02/22/2013
thinkpad_acpi: Standard ACPI backlight interface available, not loading
