I read the bug:
 https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=11259#c28
And your patch comment:
 https://patchwork.kernel.org/patch/13147/

I think there have some machines implement _BCL by using opregion, so
causes the issues. But, there sill have many machines implement _BCL by
using EC to control backlight.
Unfortunately, there have no way can detect the difference.

OK, I put a module option also a way to fix the issue for those machines
that were implemented acpi method by call EC. I will put a module option
in acpi video driver then send to you after testing finished.

OH! OK, thank's  for your review!
