I can confirm the problem with 4eebd5a4e72697aac25a8a57d3f888a9d5f80370. I have
a MPB 11,5 with AMD/Intel graphics. I recompile the module (a previous version
of 4eebd5a4e72697aac25a8a57d3f888a9d5f80370) and brightness adjusts is working
again.

I see two problems: 

1) If someone uses gpu-switch (https://github.com/0xbb/gpu-switch) with this
bug screen seem not work, after severals reboots (with different kernels) I can
access a terminal and execute gpu-switch -d and then screen seems work again.

2) If you use a Intel card (swiched with gpu-switch) the OSD (activated with
functions keys) is so slow and chromium have the same problem (temporary fix is
deactivate chromium hw acceleration) is this a intel driver bug?
