Hello again!
I desperately wanted to fix the brightness on my hacktop as its killing the battery performance.
I tried to follow this guide throughly. But I end up nowhere.
As I have a Skylake 6500U, I applied the Haswell patch. The integrated graphics was only defined in one file (DSDT). None of the SSDTs had any mention of the integrated graphics.
So, as per the guide, If I rename GFX0 to IGPU in DSDT and not in any of the SSDTs (Because none of them are patched) I cannot boot.

pre-Haswell: "Brightness Fix (HD3000/HD4000)"
Haswell: "Brightness Fix (Haswell/Broadwell)"
Apply only the brightness patch that applies to your hardware. The patch must be applied to the the file (DSDT or SSDT) where the integrated graphics device is defined. Intel hardware is always at address 0x00020000. Searching for "Name (_ADR, 0x00020000)" is a way to find the device. It is commonly called GFX0, so searching for "Device (GFX0)" is also an effective search most of the time.
