Title:
  Screen brightness set to maximum on every boot on HP Pavilion dv6
  TR7040x

Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  My laptop is an HP Pavilion dv6 TR7040x.  Every time I (re)boot into
  Ubuntu 14.04, the screen brightness is set to maximum.  This happens
  independent of my earlier setting.  I reduce the brightness, and
  continue my work.  When I reboot, it is reset to maximum brightness.

  This is a regression, and has existed since the daily builds of early
  February.  On the same laptop, Ubuntu 12.04.4 does not exhibit this
  problem.
