Public bug reported:

image: disco 19.04
kernel: 5.0.0-15-generic
also verified failed on linux-image-unsigned-5.2.0-050200rc2-generic

 - https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=97883

Linux can not control the brightness on the OLED panel in the traditional way 
[1].
Although there's a workaround from the community [2] that to execute script 
while brightness hotkey event is triggered. But if we want to upstream it, it's 
still a problem to recognize the OLED panel so that the system knows when to go 
workaround.
