This patch should not change the maximum brightness. But you may need
to adjust the brightness once after changing to a new kernel with
the patch because the range / brightness-curve may be different.

On the imgur URL your display brightness shows as being at 43%,
what happens if you use e.g. Fn + F9 to increase the brightness ?

I would expect you to be able to get back your old brightness level
then and this should persist over reboots after you have adjusted
it once.

If adjusting it does not help / work then we will need to revert
the patch causing this.

Regards,

Hans
