Dear Maintainer,

Kernels 4.x backports on jessie, and current 4.9 in stretch won't boot 
on this machine without a tweak.  Hard lockup shortly after boot when
systemd tries to restore a kbd backlight that doesn't exist.

Affects at least two other dell laptop models around 8-10 years old.

The workaround is:
# systemctl mask systemd-backlight@leds\:dell\:\:kbd_backlight.service
 -or- 
kernel parameter 
systemd.restore_state=0

Thanks for all the hard work on stretch, it's pretty far out man.

L8r,

Closing this bug with 5.4.19-1, including 5.4.17 which did disable kbd
blacklist on Inspiron 10xx. If I'm understanding correctly this was
the respective upstream reslolution. Please reopen if this is still a
problem and/or you disagree.

Regards,
Salvatore
