Turning Off Backlight Causes Kernel Panic Lenovo y550p Laptop

Recently my Lenovo y550p has started with an issue that seems to be persistent with others using a similar hardware profile with newer 3.1 kernels.

When using the function keys, or letting the screen backlight turn off after a certain amount of time through power settings, upon turning the screen back on I receive a kernel panic. The issue has been documented here: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=748210, by others with the same issue. I haven't seen anything for this with Arch and was wondering if it will be looked into or if a fix is known?

Thanks
