The problem is that the system76-acpi platform driver tries to create the exact same sysfs attribute itself for the system76_acpi::kbd_backlight device, leading to the conflict. For testing purposes, I've just rebuilt the kernel with the system76-apci color attribute renamed to kb_color, and that fixes the issue.

Is there a patch available?

This bug hits for a few Logitech keyboard models, too, and it makes
6.6 kernel unsable for them, as hid-lg-g15 driver probe fails due to
this bug:
  https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=218155

We need a quick fix for 6.6.x.


Thanks!
