We probably need this patch to fix the issue.
I have submitted this patch for SRU ago, but it will bring a pre-existing bug 
to light, so the kernel team reject it.
I'll re-verify this patch now and re-send the SRU request.

    i915: initialize CADL in opregion
    
    This is rather a hack to fix brightness hotkeys on a Clevo laptop. CADL is 
not
    used anywhere in the driver code at the moment, but it could be used in 
BIOS as
    is the case with the Clevo laptop.
    
    The Clevo B7130 requires the CADL field to contain at least the ID of
    the LCD device. If this field is empty, the ACPI methods that are called
    on pressing brightness / display switching hotkeys will not trigger a
    notification. As a result, it appears as no hotkey has been pressed.
