** Description changed:

  When you press the hotkey to adjust the screen brightness, the
  brightness level indicator will change accordingly, but the actual
  brightness does not.
  
  And from watching the brightness file in
  /sys/class/backlight/amdgpu_bl0, when the brightness control hotkey was
  pressed, it will change the value here (1~255).
  
  $ ls /sys/class/backlight/
  amdgpu_bl0  intel_backlight
+ 
+ This issue existed since 16.04.2 + 4.8 HWE kernel.
