Yes, you are right. At least we fix the hotkey event problem.

Yes! we still need fix the problem with backlight control. Please kindly
give me the result after add the following debug parameter:
	acpi.debug_level=0xF acpi.debug_layer=0xFFFFFFFF log_buf_len=5M

And, 
Did you try the following kernel parameter?
	acpi_backlight=vendor

Please try it!
There has a write brightness command 0x06 in WHCM method, WHCM call by
WMAA.
I think might need implement 0x06 command support in hp-wmi.c,
currently, I didn't see it.
