I enabled the KMS debug messages in the drm module:
$ cat /etc/modprobe.d/drm-debug.conf
options drm debug=0x04
$ sudo update-initramfs -u -k $(uname -r) && sudo reboot
...
Unfortunately, it doesn't look like my device_id is set after the
drm_dp_read_desc() in drm_dp_read_desc:
$ dmesg | grep -i OUI
[ 1.378026] [drm:drm_dp_read_desc [drm_kms_helper]] DP sink: OUI 38-ec-11
dev-ID HW-rev 0.0 SW-rev 0.0 quirks 0x0000
Hopefully the device_id is set for the Dell platform in bug #1856134 so
that commit 3269788061d2 ("USUNTU: SAUCE: drm/i915: Force DPCD backlight
mode on Dell Precision 4K sku") can be more specific to that device.

Title:
[FOCAL][REGRESSION] Intel Gen 9 brightness cannot be controlled
Status in linux-5.4 package in Ubuntu:
Confirmed
Status in linux-5.4 source package in Focal:
Confirmed
Bug description:
After upgrading from Eoan (5.3.0-29.31) to Focal (5.4.0-12.15), I no
longer have the ability to control the backlight brightness on my HP
EliteBook 840 G5. When pressing the brightness hotkeys, the on-screen
indicator pops up and shows that the brightness setting is being
changed but the actual screen brightness is stuck on the lowest
setting.
This laptop has a built-in privacy screen. If I activate the privacy
screen (fn-f2), then the actual screen brightness goes to the maximum
setting and then I am able to dim and brighten the backlight as long
as the privacy screen functionality is turned on.
This is a regression from Eoan's 5.3.0-29.31 kernel where I was able
to control the brightness with and without the privacy screen
functionality being turned on.
