Would it be an option to only support the KMS prop for Good devices, and continue using the suboptimal existing sysfs API for Bad devices?
(I'm just throwing ideas around to see what sticks, feel free to ignore.)
Currently suid-root or pkexec helpers are used to deal with the /sys/class/backlight requires root rights issue. I really want to be able to disable these helpers at build time in e.g. GNOME once the new properties are supported in GNOME. So that distros with a new enough kernel can reduce their attack surface this way.
