Bug description:
  Description
  =========

  It seems like a new HP laptops are using new vendor string which brokes
  hotkeys.

  
  Workaround
  ==========

  Just to put following lines to fix hotkeys for brithness.

  evdev:atkbd:dmi:bvn*:bvr*:bd*:svnHP*:pn*:pvr*
   KEYBOARD_KEY_92=brightnessdown
   KEYBOARD_KEY_97=brightnessup

  
  Proposed solution
  ===============

  The issue was already solved by upstream systemd[1] developers 25 days
  ago, so resync of hwdb/60-keyboard.hwdb should be enough.

    [1]: commit 325de0ac23596209c252ebcc934dd5f5926fe2b6
