I was facing to this behaviour.
I blacklisted the dell_laptop module and this issue was solved. Now my keyboard backlight act as it should be.


in /etc/modprobe.d directory 
create this file blacklist-dell.conf 
and add in it the followinf thing : blacklist dell_laptop
then excute : sudo update-initramfs -u
and Reboot
