Not working on Aura 15 Gen 1

[ElementW]

Updating to commit e236eec63aa04c60cc930f2f58f41b223dfee5e2 after having been using 3.0.4 for a long time, the kernel module is now completely useless:

• The keyboard backlight color & brightness keys do not work any more (with no messages in the kernel log)
• A /sys/class/leds/white:kbd_backlight node is created but exposes a single-channel LED whose brightness does not even work and reads 0 all the time

However it somehow now works, I guess it was an issue with unloading a previous version and loading a new one on same boot; the backlight Fn keys work and KDE Plasma now displays a brightness slider in the Battery & Brightness tab. Closing the issue.

For reference, the driver reloads immediately on package update but the KDE functionality interacting with it does not re-enumerate after boot as far as I am aware.
