CID: 201304-13196 Dell Inspiron 5537

Unable to adjust the screen brightness on this system.
Tested with 3.8.0-29 and 3.8.0-30 kernel.

Step:
1. Install 12.04.3 and boot to desktop.
2. Try to adjust brightness with the brightness keys.
2. Try to adjust brightness in "Brightness and Lock" of System settings.

Expected result:
Brightness could be adjusted by using the brightness keys and by adjusting in "Brightness and Lock" of System settings.

Actual result:
1. Brightness keys events (keycode 224/225) were captured, but the brightness cannot be adjusted. Brightness level indiciator only changes between Max and Max - 1
2. Brightness cannot be adjusted in "Brightness and Lock" of System settings.
