Hi,

Ponali reported in Debian (https://bugs.debian.org/1141604) the
following issue after updating from 6.12.90 to 6.12.94. First quoting
the report:

Now, Ponali did bisect the changes between 6.12.90 and 6.12.94 and
found that the backport of the commit 8d95d1f4aa5c ("platform/x86:
asus-wmi: fix screenpad brightness range") changed the behaviour.
Bisect log is at: https://bugs.debian.org/1141604#22

As this change was backported to other stable series as well I asked
Ponali to please test 7.0.y and 7.1.y and confirmed that both 7.0.13
and as well 7.1.3 show the hehaviour.

#regzbot introduced: 8d95d1f4aa5c76202b0833a70998769384612488
#regzbot link: https://bugs.debian.org/1141604

Is there anything Ponali can report back to further debug the issue?

Regards,
Salvatore
