Description:
I have an optimus enabled laptop (Thinkpad Yoga 14). After updating from v 470.57.02-2 to 470.57.02-3 PRIME offload stopped working.

Seems like Xorg is loading driver modesetting for both intel and nvidia cards. I've wrote a simple Server configuration file but it still only loads modesetting driver for nvidia card.

nvidia, nvidia_modeset, nvidia_uvm and nvidia_drm modules are included in my mkinitcpio and it builds without issues. It even has nvidia.modesetting=1 in the kernel parameters and in a conf file under /etc/modeprobe.d/

Additional info:
* package version(s)
* config and/or log files etc.
* link to upstream bug report, if any

Steps to reproduce:
Update to nvidia-dkms 470.57.02-3
This task depends upon

Correction. The upgrade was from rel -1 to rel -3

Adding
`BusID "PCI:6:0:0"`
To the `Device` section of my conf file and it started working again. Performance is terrible (worse than iGPU), but at least it works.
