Hi

The native intel backlight controls do not work correctly on SAMSUNG
900X3C/900X3D/900X3E/900X4C/900X4D laptops as I reported in
https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=87286 (and
https://bugs.debian.org/772440).

Aaron Lu told me there to speak up here/to Rafael.

Please find attached a patch to disable the native backlight on this
laptop model, like it was already done for some other older models.

I assume this would be the proper commit comments (or should it be
signed-off?):
Bug-Link: https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=87286.

The patch applies to
https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/rafael/linux-pm.git
branch linux-next, head at
389a8d43d64711b0e7282d227e05a6a71b43753d

I verified the issues are still present in linux-next and get solved
with this patch.

Just tell me if there is anything else I can do to get this applied.

Thanks
