Bug Description

Ubuntu 23.10/24.04
Dell Inspiron 7700 AIO
6.5.0-35-generic/6.8.0-31-generic
X11

https://askubuntu.com/questions/1514988/backlight-brightness-not-working-in-ubuntu-23-10-24-04-on-dell-7700-aio

lsb_release -rd
No LSB modules are available.
Description: Ubuntu 24.04 LTS
Release: 24.04

dell_uart_backlight kernel driver isn't in the 24.04 distribution, so NO Dell AIO display backlights can be adjusted. No brightness slider appears. (dell_uart_backlight is in the 23.10 distribution, but backlight/brightness slider control doesn't work 100% properly).

Works fine in 23.04.
