My bad, I see the problem here: the acpi_video_device_lcd_query_levels
called in acpi_video_run_bcl_for_osi didn't do the proper conversion.
The acpi_handle is a "void *" so there is no warnings...

This error messages means there is no _BCL but the acpidump shows that
there is.

Anyway, please apply this patch on top of the existing one and attach
dmesg, thanks, this can at least fix the above 4097 errors and let's see
if things start to change:
