Hi Rafael-

For your reference...

As James Hogan reported, those ACPI changes break backlight control on
the "Dell XPS13" Ivy Bridge models (the Sandy Bridge XPS13 model is not
affected).

I confirm that reverting 8c5bd7a and efaa14c fixes it again.


Also FYI...

That patch is now queued up in drm-intel/drm-intel-fixes, so should be
making its way to mainline soon.
