Is is possible to downgrade the BIOS at all?

The bug description says:

> Did not see this behavior before upgrading from 1.2.0 bios to 1.4.0
bios

and the problematic BIOS versions are only a couple of weeks old:

Unfortunately there's nothing newer yet either.

Bug description:
  On a dell XPS 15 2-in-1 with the latest 1.4.0 bios, my touchpad and keyboard 
are unresponsive at the gdm login screen.  Keyboard works to unlock encrypted 
harddrive before that though.  If I plug in a USB keyboard or activate my 
bluetooth mouse, I can use those to log in, and then after logging in the 
laptop touchpad and keyboard work again.  Logging out of the desktop results
  in the laptop touchpad and keyboard working on the gdm screen.  Did not see 
  this behavior before upgrading from 1.2.0 bios to 1.4.0 bios, but also had
  not rebooted in a while, so not sure if bios or package upgrades triggered 
  this behavior.
