Hi! I'm looking for information on how to get the brightness controls working on my 8470P with AMD 7570M graphics. I've been trying to piece together info from these three repositories but haven't figured it out yet:
* https://github.com/RehabMan/HP-ProBook-4x30s-DSDT-Patch.git - This is the currently supported repo but doesn't support the 8470P with the AMD GPU. I tried a "vanilla" install following the directions and it would not make it to the login screen.
* https://bitbucket.org/dhnguyenit/hp-probook-installer-clover-edition.git - This repo is no longer supported but can sometimes be used for reference, although the information is scattered across tons of files in tons of directories. I tried a "vanilla" install of this repo as well and encountered the same problem: it wouldn't make it to the login screen.
* https://github.com/Memphiz/HP-ProBook-4x30s-DSDT-Patch.git - This repo has an unmerged pull request with some info regarding my configuration but is also not supported. I was able to use this repo to get the GPU functioning correctly, but I don't believe there are any changes in this repo that specifically address the issue with the backlight controls. I couldn't find any directions regarding backlight controls for my hardware config.
From what I gather in these posts, it is possible to get the backlight working with DSDT patches:

https://www.tonymacx86.com/threads/...backlight-control.152659/page-67#post-1198634
Did I overlook the info needed to make DSDT patches for backlight controls?
Is it possible to get this working with CLOVER patches instead of DSDT?
Any guidance is greatly appreciated.
Note: I'm specifically using Yosemite because it's the last MacOS version that will sleep/wake correctly with the AMD GPUs.
Thanks!
