This kind of code doesn't belong in the nouveau driver, as you
probably already know.

But there are things called "platform drivers" that support all those
non-standard features you may find on laptops, like radio switches,
leds, ... and backlight. There is one such driver for my Asus laptop,
which is called "asus-laptop".

So what you want is a platform driver for your hardware. Now you need
to either find someone who can code it, or do it yourself. It
shouldn't be that difficult if working code is already available.
