This message is harmless. Your laptop has two GPUs. The ATIF ACPI method is
used to notify the driver of backlight change events so the driver checks to
see if it exists. Depending on the board configuration, the secondary GPU may
or may not have access to the backlight controller. In this case it does not.

Thank you for explaining the meaning of the message related to dual GPUs. It
will be nice to improve the mechanism where one of GPU cannot access to the
backlight controller.

Mayebe we need to make the error a bit less scary then, e.g. :
[drm:radeon_acpi_init [radeon]] *Warning* Cannot find a backlight controller,
this is ussualy harmless on dual gpu systems
Yes it is a bit long, but it will likely help to avoid future bug reports about
this.
Regards,
Hans

--- Comment #13 from Luya Tshimbalanga <luya@fedoraproject.org> ---
Hello,
I am closing this bug report now it was revealed the bug was triggered by the
new ACPI EC scheme from the BIOS first used by Microsoft Windows 8.1 and up.
Tested with patch on Kernel 4.8 rc4 properly handle the backlight controller.
I no longer see the error message:
$ journalctl -b | grep backlight

You aren't seeing the message because it was removed in newer kernels.

Thank you for the clarification. Should I set the status as code fix then?
