Subject: [REGRESSION] Backlight control broken on Dell G15 5515 since 6.1
Date: Mon, 9 Jan 2023 18:18:11 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <CAKsK3AkWhAx6cvt5ABRecun+24FVQa441OrYfzYQ5fJpJHCqmw@mail.gmail.com> (raw)

Hello,

The backlight control has been broken on Dell G15 5515 since 6.1, it
is always at full brightness, this is only the case in hybrid (mux)
graphics mode.

As per the output of lsmod the nvidia_wmi_ec_backlight is loaded:
nvidia_wmi_ec_backlight    16384  0
video                  61440  5
nvidia_wmi_ec_backlight,dell_wmi,amdgpu,dell_laptop,nvidia_modeset
wmi                    36864  7
video,nvidia_wmi_ec_backlight,alienware_wmi,dell_wmi,wmi_bmof,dell_smbios,dell_wmi_descriptor

but it is not present in /sys/class/backlight, only amdgpu_bl1 is
present which is not functional
