[Bug 1278219] [NEW] function keys for screen brightness not working in Samsung Series 9

[liquidat]

Public bug reported:

The function keys for controlling screen brightness for the Samsung
Serie 9 900X4C-A05 laptop are not working. When the keys are pressed, a
note is shown that the brightness is adjusted - however, it does not
really happen. I would expect upon key pess that the note is shown and
that the brightness is actually adjusted according to the pressed keys.

A fix is described in
https://bugs.freedesktop.org/attachment.cgi?id=65281, however that one
aims at Systemd, and thus the patch needs adjustments to work with udev,
upstart and the like.

The Ubuntu version is 13.10, the udev package version is 204-0ubuntu18.
