Or do they need both?
Hi Daniel- Yes, these are the same models (Dell XPS13) that need the PCH_PWM_ENABLE quirk, but that's not related to this ACPI problem... All of the XPS13 models still need the PCH_PWM_ENABLE quirk which is now present in mainline (e85843b "drm/i915: quirk no PCH_PWM_ENABLE for Dell XPS13 backlight"). Separately from that, some of the XPS13 models were _also_ adversely affected (as were some other machines) by the ACPI changes that are about to be reverted. -Kamal
