Do you mean after boot, the screen brightness is now 40% instead of the
previous 100%? Are you using a GUI? If so, please boot into console mode
to see if this is still the case as GUI sometimes will change backlight
levels so better isolate its impact when testing.

And please list your backlight interfaces:
# ls /sys/class/backlight
I assume it is acpi_video0 that is controlling your backlight levels,
can you please check if it is still working well?
# cd /sys/class/backlight/acpi_video0
# cat max_brightness
XXX
# echo a_value_smaller_or_euqal_to_XXX > brightness

BTW, do you see any error messages in your dmesg?
Probably you can file a new bug at https://bugzilla.kernel.org under the
ACPI/Power-Video category and attach your dmesg/acpidump there, thanks.
