If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: Marcos Paulo Medeiros [ Upstream commit 525ba51157ac6e1772b5412eae26b20dd7ef8bda ] The Acer Nitro AN515-46 is a hybrid graphics laptop whose internal panel is driven by the AMD GPU (Radeon 680M); the discrete NVIDIA GPU only drives external outputs. The firmware nevertheless advertises the NVIDIA WMI EC backlight GUID, so the backlight type resolves to nvidia_wmi_ec. The nvidia-wmi-ec-backlight driver however fails to probe ("EC backlight control failed: AE_NOT_FOUND") and, since the backlight type is still nvidia_wmi_ec, amdgpu skips registering its own backlight device. The result is no backlight device at all, leaving the brightness keys and the desktop brightness slider non-functional. Booting with acpi_backlight=native makes amdgpu register its backlight interface and brightness control works. Add a DMI quirk to use the native backlight on this model by default.
