I have two: nv_backlight and mbp_backlight (now apple_backlight). The
trouble is that nouveau's nv_backlight is broken on my hardware (NVAF).
(I think it's this issue:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=625171 - max_brightness is
wrong)
When I remove nv_backlight completely and just have apple_backlight,
g-p-m works properly. When they're both there, g-p-m prefers nv_backlight.
