Title:
  Brightness control broken on XPS13 and 3.8.0-16, 3.8.0-22 and
  3.11.0-12

Status in The Linux Kernel:
  Incomplete
Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released
Status in “linux” source package in Precise:
  Fix Released
Status in “linux” source package in Quantal:
  Fix Released
Status in “linux” source package in Raring:

Status in “linux” source package in Saucy:

Bug description:
  Since 3.8.0-16, the brightness control doesn’t work anymore.
  The popup is displayed, so the shortcut keys do work correctly, but it has no effect on the actual brightness of the screen.

  Switching back to 3.8.0-15 solves the issue.
