It seems there is (another) way to control the backlight.

/sys/class/backlight/nv_backlight/brightness

You can write to that, but check the value of
/sys/class/backlight/nv_backlight/max_brightness first.

I'm not a 100% sure the name is nv_backlight, but that should be easy to check.

Please try that and see if this causes problems.
