Hi Benjamin,

It looks like a XPS13 2014 but I can confirm this with my colleagues who are in charge of this product line. I don't mind checking this patch with more older series of laptops. I will do it and let you know the status. Should I also test the machines with Fedora 23, or just go with Ubuntu OS? The XPS machines are shipped with Ubuntu.
Btw, the issue reporter said she/he cannot reproduce the issue (posted on Dec. 18).
