dmesg output when display flickering was observed

Booting kernel with acpi.debug_level=0xF acpi.debug_layer=0x10C10006 revealed
that on the early stage LCD_ receives spurious notifies like this:

[    1.220201]   evmisc-0120 [4294967294] ev_queue_notify_reques: Dispatching
Notify on [LCD_] Node ffff8800af04e5c8 Value 0x87 (**Device Specific**)

I'm pretty sure, that those notifies cause display flickering and crashes.

What is also interesting in the attached dmesg log is that *one* single Fn+Up
or Fn+Down keypress produces *two* notifies, thus skipping some brightness
levels:

[ 1917.142236]   evmisc-0120 [4294967289] ev_queue_notify_reques: Dispatching

handler for Notify (VPC0, 80) node ffff8800af052140
[ 1917.147153]    utils-0286 [4294967282] evaluate_integer      : Return value
[40]
[ 1917.156349]    utils-0286 [4294967282] evaluate_integer      : Return value

[ 1917.161988]    utils-0286 [4294967282] evaluate_integer      : Return value
[50]
[ 1917.171846]    utils-0286 [4294967282] evaluate_integer      : Return value
[60]

I had to add "blacklist video" to my /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf to prevent
crashes and flickering, but I'm not able to change display brightness now.
