wsconsctl display.brightness non-functional

I am using OpenBSD on a 15" 2011 Macbook Pro.

The 2011 models have faulty Radeon GPU, so to use Intel graphics, I run:

config -ef /bsd
disable radeondrm
quit

And this solution is very stable.

However, it is impossible to adjust the monitor backlight (may be unrelated to above?), for example:
wsconsctl display.brightness=50%

I am aware there is some (open source) 3rd party software from Intel, floating around Github, but I don't know what exactly it does, how it works:
https://github.com/jcs/intel_backlight_fbsd

Is there any other solution?
Many thanks
