Hi Julius.
Thanks for posting this. I few nits in the following where you as the
author decide what to ignore and what to update.

I hope someone else can help here, as I have no clue.

A different way to set the brightness value could be:
struct brightness_ctrl_message_data {
u8 cmd;
u8[2] brightness;
u8 unknown[4];
} __packed;
static void set_ctrl_message_brightness(struct brightness_ctrl_message_data *msg,
u16 brightness_value)
{
u16 brightness = brightness_value + 400;
msg->brightness[0] = brightness & 0xff;
msg->brightness[2] = brightness >> 8;
}
This is similar to what is done in drm_mipi_dsi.
Other backlight drivers (except one) uses similar tricks to handle when
the brightness is more than one byte.
The magic number 400 would be better represented by a constant like:
#define BACKLIGHT_INTENSITY_OFFSET 400
Or something like this.
It also from the code looks like unknown_1 is a command byte.
#define GET_BACKLIGHT_INTENSITY 0x0
#define SET_BACKLIGHT_INTENSITY 0x1
Looks more descriptive than the current hard coding, implicit via memset
or explicit.

As the build bot already told you, please use static everywhere
possible.
In this case just drop the helper as it has only one user.

The struct is so small that you can safely have it as a local variable.
The pointer is almost the same size. And then there is no need to check
for failing allocations.

Consider specifying the number of msec to wait, rather than the platform
dependent HZ value that may or may not work.
I found:
#define USB_CTRL_GET_TIMEOUT 5000
#define USB_CTRL_SET_TIMEOUT 5000
They look like the right choices here.

Should this check the first byte that I assume is a command byte?

As above, declare it on the stack.

Here you should replace bl->props.brightness with
backlight_get_brightness(bl).
This will give you the value 0 when the backlight device is power down
or blank which is often the right thing.

Use dev_err_probe() here.

Same here, so you also log something.

Same here.

Any particular reason NOT to use devm_backlight_device_register()?
