Brightness control broken on XPS13 and 3.8.0-16, 3.8.0-22 and

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.
