[Bug 1354710] Re: Backlight control does not work, but there are entries in /sys/class/backlight. Lenovo B570

 

I can't build a bunch of test kernels because it requires the testing
result for the last kernel before the next kernel is built.

I built the next test kernel, up to the following commit:
4294dcf7e335da72fe81538c46b4a8e83037ea20

The test kernel can be downloaded from:
http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~jsalisbury/lp1354710

Can you test that kernel and report back if it has the bug or not? I
will build the next test kernel based on your test results.

Thanks in advance
