Ok, that is a good first step in debugging this.

Can you run evtest with the working kernel and then check which
event node is generating key-presses for the brightness keys,
that should help narrow it down further.

Likely candidates are: "LG WMI hotkeys",
"AT translated set 2 keyboard", "Video Bus".

In "Video Bus", there are KEY_BRIGHTNESSDOWN and KEY_BRIGHTNESSUP that are triggered.
 
But if none of those 3 reports brightness key presses, please
try all available /dev/input/event# nodes and please report back
here the name(e.g. "LG WMI hotkeys") of the /dev/input/event# node
which is reporting the brightness key presses.

Also which kernel version is the first broken kernel version
for you ?

6.9.7 to 6.9.9 are broken. I also noticed issues with /sys/devices/platform/lg-laptop/battery_care_limit, that reports 0 and cannot be set with those kernels.

There are commits in the lg-laptop.c file in the 6.10 series that I hope solve these issues, see https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/diff/drivers/platform/x86/lg-laptop.c?id=v6.10&id2=v6.9
