v4.1 kernel[0].

tag 'kernel-fixed-upstream'.

If the mainline kernel does not fix this bug, please add the tag:
'kernel-bug-exists-upstream'.

If you are unable to test the mainline kernel, for example it will not boot, please add the tag: 'kernel-unable-to-test-upstream'.
Once testing of the upstream kernel is complete, please mark this bug as "Confirmed".


Thanks in advance.

Title:
  Backlight control does not work on Asus Zenbook Pro UX501JW / Nvidia
  Geforce GTX 960M

Status in linux package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  Hello!

  Backlight control does not work on Asus Zenbook Pro UX501JW / Nvidia
  Geforce GTX 960M.

  What I mean by this is that the hotkeys for the backlight does not do
  anything. The backlight can be manually set while running on the
  integrated intel graphics. (Not with hotkeys).

  The nvidia GPU is not detected until Nvidias official drivers are
  installed. And after installing that driver (any version) the
  backlight can not be changed at all.

  I hope this can be solved!
