You should file a bug against Nouveau asking for backlight support. My
recollection is that the non accelerated drivers had support for
backlight control on ppc and that's what we used.

There was a dummy backlight method at some point, I can't remember
whether it's still in or not. In any case, you have to modify the source
to use a dummy backlight driver. See pommed.c, the entry for your
hardware.
