The thing is radeon backlight control is oem specific.  Some use the on-GPU
controller, others use a platform specific solution, so acpi is the best option
since it covers all the bases.  Things like hybrid laptops get even more
complicated (multiple GPUs sharing the same display hw). The kernel backlight
interface seems like the right interface since it doesn't depend on X or randr
1.2 support so it covers just about everything (SoCs, non-randr 1.2 hw, systems
without X, etc.).
