The new action ID 'org.kde.powerdevil.backlighthelper.syspath' is simply just a
read operation on the 'm_dirname' variable inside 'backlighthelper.cpp'. The
variable 'm_dirname' holds the found device path in '/sys/class/backlight/'
that can be read by an unprivileged user anyway.
Therefore the temporary changes made to polkit-default-privs (comment 6) are
okay from the security point of view and can be made permanently.
