I've built the v3.15 kernel (using the .config file from debian
unstable and doing make oldconfig).

The backlight is at maximum brightness after boot and I can't control
it using the backlight buttons, nor by writing to
/sys/class/backlight/samsung/brightness
(say half the value or 1/10th of max_brightness)

Backlight does work when writing
/sys/class/backlight/intel_backlight/brightness

Kind regards,
