Based on the code you posted, I would assume that MLCG returns the
current brightness level.  Did you test that?

The thinkpad_acpi driver use code like this to test for supported
features:

      tp_features.bluetooth = hkey_handle && acpi_evalf(hkey_handle, &status, "GBDC", "qd");

You could do something similar for the keyboard backlight feature,
couldn't you?
