=> requires the following to make brightness control keys work as expected
$ cat /etc/modprobe.d/i915.conf options i915 invert_brightness=1
As there's a specific broadwell i915 module, you have to adapt as follows:
options i915_bdw invert_brightness=1
I highly doubt this. This might be true for some gen4 models, but not Valleyview.
The above mentioned i915_bdw option fixes the backlight inversion on my HP 250 G3 (same lspci output as in original post)
So long. Max
