I think the code will be easier to read if you change both of these to
use boolean arguments, since that's essentially how they're being used
anyway. I.e.

static int get_tr_backlight_status(struct toshiba_acpi_dev *dev, boolean *enabled);
static int set_tr_backlight_status(struct toshiba_acpi_dev *dev, boolean enable);

dev->backlight_dev->props.max_brightness + 1? That seems nicer than
having to duplicate the "tr backlight gives me an additional brightness
level" logic throughout the file.

I'd personally prefer

	ret = get_tr_backlight_status(dev, &dummy);
	dev->tr_backlight_supported = !ret;

to be consistent with how this is done other places in the file.
