platform/x86: nvidia-wmi-ec-backlight: Add force module parameter
On some Lenovo Legion models, the backlight might be driven by either one of nvidia_wmi_ec_backlight or amdgpu_bl0 at different times. When the Nvidia WMI EC backlight interface reports the backlight is controlled by the EC, the current backlight handling only registers nvidia_wmi_ec_backlight (and registers no other backlight interfaces). This hides (never registers) the amdgpu_bl0 interface, where as prior to 6.1.4 users would have both nvidia_wmi_ec_backlight and amdgpu_bl0 and could work around things in userspace. Add a force module parameter which can be used with acpi_backlight=native to restore the old behavior as a workound (for now) by passing: "acpi_backlight=native nvidia-wmi-ec-backlight.force=1" Fixes: 8d0ca287 ("platform/x86: nvidia-wmi-ec-backlight: Use acpi_video_get_backlight_type()") Link: https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=217026 Cc: stable@vger.kernel.org Signed-off-by: Hans de Goede <hdegoede@redhat.com> Reviewed-by: Daniel Dadap <ddadap@nvidia.com> Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20230217144208.5721-1-hdegoede@redhat.com
