Nope, even the very first line of output from initramfs is dim, and if I then
reboot and go into the BIOS settings, the screen intensity is at 40%. While
it's rebooting, the Dell bios splash will start off bright and then suddenly
dim down.

With the patches reverted:

[/sys/class/backlight/acpi_video0] grep . *bright*
actual_brightness:95
brightness:95
max_brightness:95

And the weird part inside the kernel - on a kernel that has the problem,
/sys/class/backlight is *empty* - only '.' and '..' entries.

No, I don't understand why the acpi_video0 entry isn't created when that
commit is in place.
