Bug Description
Thinkpad T14 AMD uses relatively new AMD Ryzen 4000 platform.
Screen brightness is fixed at likely the brightest setting and can not be adjusted.
Keyboard shortcut keys are working as the brightness icon shows up, but the actual brightness doesn't change.

I have this issue as well on elementaryOS based on Ubuntu 18.04:
Linux Celer 5.4.0-52-generic #57~18.04.1-Ubuntu SMP Thu Oct 15 14:04:49 UTC 2020 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux
Tried booting with
thinkpad- acpi.brightness _enable= 1 acpi_backlight= vendor
But no luck either. There is something in `/sys/class/ backlight` but writing to `brightness` has no effect.
