After upgrading to kernel 7.1 the display backlight brightness
adjustment stopped working in KDE on my Google PixelBook 2017.

Neither the keyboard brightness keys nor the brightness slider change
the display's brightness.

I'm currently running kernel version 7.1.4-202.fc44.x86_64

Please let me know if you need any additional information.
