Problem solved.

Tried adding acpi_backlight=vendor to boot parameter.  Did not work

So I tried the recommendation for Intel HD Graphic Controllers.

Created the file /usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d/80-backlight.conf with below
contents as recommended.

Section "Device"
    Identifier  "Intel Graphics"
    Driver      "intel"
    Option      "AccelMethod"     "sna"
    Option      "Backlight"       "intel_backlight" # use your backlight that works here
    BusID       "PCI:0:2:0"
EndSection

Problem Solved.

I am still running the upstream kernel at this time.  Will reboot into
the final release kernel and report as to whether this works in that
kernel as well.
