Hi Rafael-
For your reference...
As James Hogan reported, those ACPI changes break backlight control on the "Dell XPS13" Ivy Bridge models (the Sandy Bridge XPS13 model is not affected).
I confirm that reverting 8c5bd7a and efaa14c fixes it again.
Also FYI...

That patch is now queued up in drm-intel/drm-intel-fixes, so should be making its way to mainline soon.
