This feels to me somewhat like debug information being pushed into sysfs.
There are very few backlight drivers that add additional sysfs attributes
meaning the extra info here is not commonly pushed into the ABI for a
backlight and knowing the info in these properties does not really
help userspace to *use* the hardware.
Does this kind of thing really belong in sysfs?

Ok, as you wish. Let's drop this patch from the serie for now.
Cheers.
