5.4.0-18-generic fixed it for me too (OP, Dell XPS 15 9575) as far as the keyboard keys are concerned. The slider in the gnome panel however is still not moved when I use the keyboard keys.

At the time, it was still using linux 5.3 (linux-image-5.3.0-24-generic). Today, it updated to linux 5.4 (linux-image-5.4.0-9-generic) and after rebooting, the screen brightness does not work anymore - neither from keyboard keys nor from the slider in the gnome-shell panel. It works again when rebooting into the previous linux- image-5.3.0-24-generic kernel.
