Yeah, I acked it.  Sorry it took a few days to reply to this email.

This is not the "best" fix, but it is by far the less troublesome one:
hooking to the internal event from the thinkpad DSDT and updating the
brightness shadow register in the driver should work, but that will
require testing as we cannot really take for granted that we will get
that event on every firmware out there without going over the DSDT AML
of a lot of models.
