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.
