== SRU Justification ==
This bug is a regression in Xenial. The backlight control does not work
and there are no entries in /sys/class/backlight. A bisect was done. It was
found that commit 6276e53fa8c0 introduced this regression. Commit 6276e53fa8c0
has already been reverted in mainline by commit fd25ea29093e275195d0ae8b2573021a1c98959f.
This revert landed in mainline in 4.10-rc6 and was cc'd to stable.
However, it has not been applied to upstream stable 4.4.y.
This SRU request is to have commit fd25ea29093e275195d0ae8b2573021a1c98959f added
to Xenail. I will contact upstream to also request it in 4.4.y stable.
== Fix ==
commit fd25ea29093e275195d0ae8b2573021a1c98959f

A test kernel was built with this patch and tested by the original bug reporter.
The bug reporter states the test kernel resolved the bug.
