Title:
  [Lenovo B470e] Backlight interface does not working

Status in linux-lts-saucy package in Ubuntu:
  Expired

Bug description:
  Brightness Keys does not work on this system with 12.04.4.

  Brightness slider in "Settings > Brightness and Lock" does not
  function as well.

  There is two backlight interfaces under /sys/class/backlight/ :
  lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 0 Apr 10 05:19 ideapad -> ../../devices/platform/ideapad/backlight/ideapad
  lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 0 Apr 10 05:19 intel_backlight -> ../../devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:02.0/drm/card0/card0-LVDS-1/intel_backlight

  Trying to modify brightness value directly in the control file, but
  only intel_backlight/brighness works here.

  Further investigating by trying older kernel versions,
  brightness hot keys and backlight interfaces works just fine with 3.2, 3.5, 3.8 .
  Verified with:
  linux-image-3.2.0-60-generic               3.2.0-60.91
  linux-image-3.5.0-48-generic               3.5.0-48.72~precise1                         linux-image-3.8.0-38-generic               3.8.0-38.56~precise1
