dmesg boot log

I have Fedora 25 running on my laptop (Dell Latitude E5570) and it's has a problem with keyboard backlight. First of all - I have an ability to configure backlight brightness level and timeout from EFI, but system ignore this settings and keyboard backlight simple always on at 100% brightness level. I see this log messages at boot time and periodically after.

Looks like this is a bug in dell_laptop kernel module which doesn't campatable with my hardware.
