This package now includes the patch, but just for posterity, here's how you would patch a package:
1) Clone the package with git
2) Apply the patch
3) Build and install the package with makepkg
So, in this case you'd do something like this:
$ cd /tmp
$ git clone https://aur.archlinux.org/nvidia-bl.git
$ cd nvidia-bl
$ curl --silent https://gist.githubusercontent.com/bacondropped/fdb1e71228dd4b100a8e9304f95d465a/raw/6f26b3dc3d436a436b415b71fc77a2bb670b74f5/nvidia-bl-0.17.3-linux4.8fix-3bea3c4.patch | patch -Np1
$ makepkg -ci
< makepkg builds the package and prompts you to install it >

I can confirm that edit works for me on a 4.8.4 kernel.
Made it into a patch: https://gist.githubusercontent.com/bacondropped/fdb1e71228dd4b100a8e9304f95d465a/raw/6f26b3dc3d436a436b415b71fc77a2bb670b74f5/nvidia-bl-0.17.3-linux4.8fix-3bea3c4.patch

It seems the problem is that the macro DEFINE_PCI_DEVICE_TABLE is no longer available since the last kernel update.
The offending line is 212 in nvidia_bl.c:
static DEFINE_PCI_DEVICE_TABLE(nvidia_bl_device_table) = {
If you replace this with (as described here https://patchwork.kernel.org/patch/6813061/):
static const struct pci_device_id nvidia_bl_device_table[] = {
it compiled for me (and worked).

Hi, right now this package can't be built on my machine using makepkg/pacman 5.0.0. The error message states:
`==> ERROR: backup should be an array`
After some research it seems to me like pacman 5 requires this variable to be an array. Wrapping the backupd dir into an array does solve that issue but I do not know whether there are other parts of the PKGBUILD which should be migrated for pacman 5.
