>How-To-Repeat:

	All the backlight/brightness controls was never properly ported
	from the Linux backlight_device_register API.

>Fix:

	Either use pmf(9) to implement the backlight_device_register
	API and use the Linux code verbatim, or adapt the code
	explicitly.  There's a perhaps broken draft of the latter at
	<https://www.NetBSD.org/~riastradh/tmp/20160117/intel_brightness.patch>.
