[PATCH 6.2 09/11] platform/x86: nvidia-wmi-ec-backlight: Add force module parameter

[Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@linuxfoundation.org>]

From: Hans de Goede <hdegoede@redhat.com>

commit 0d9bdd8a550170306c2021b8d6766c5343b870c2 upstream.

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"
