I'm trying to sort out the status of this myself. Is the expectation that your patches *with* the IGD work from Matthew/Hong should mean that Fujitsus implementing IGD should not need fujitsu-laptop in order to provide working software backlight brightness control? Or shouldn't Matthew/Hong's patchset be necessary with your patch in theory? AFAIK even IGD Fujitsus will need fujitsu-laptop to support other hotkeys, so allowing fujitsu-laptop to co-exist with video.ko handling the backlight (as your patches allow) is the right thing to do.
