For the backlight, there have been attempts to fix (use the native backlight control primarily over ACPI), but didn't land to the mainline yet. For the rfkill part, it depends on the user-space. Without the patch, it sends a scan code, and OS is supposed to do rfkill via each driver. The proper key mapping would be needed. Not sure about the LED state on the WiFi button, though, whether it's properly controlled by WiFi and/or BT driver. With the patch, all rfkill and LED are handled by BIOS, so it works as is. Also I thought there are changes in some media keys by acpi_osi, but I need to double check.
