@ Felipe:

Actually, with further testing, my laptop appears to be fixed while on AC
power, but it's still cycling a lot on battery. The wiki page linked in the
opening bug post has a three step process to check if everything is fixed
and change the values if you like. For me, I didn't want everything set to
255, so I set both AC and Battery to 254. This seems to be working well for
me.

Good luck!
