Based on the code you posted, I would assume that MLCG returns the
current brightness level. Did you test that?
The thinkpad_acpi driver use code like this to test for supported
features:
tp_features.bluetooth = hkey_handle && acpi_evalf(hkey_handle, &status,
"GBDC", "qd");
You could do something similar for the keyboard backlight feature,
couldn't you?
