Public bug reported: The dmesg lists an Error that the backlight cannot be found with dmesg -l err.
The system test of the backlight controls pass, but periodically there is a loss of control of the backlight control where trying to brighten the screen or dim it with the keyboard controls does not function and remains in its current state.
