Description:

I have a laptop Lenovo Legion Y7000P2020H, while it's possible to adjust the backlight
in discrete GPU, however, when set to "Hybrid" mode in BIOS, the `intel_backlight/brightness`
has no effect on the actual screen backlight. There's no hardware brightness key on the keyboard.

Details:

uname -a:
> Linux arch 5.16.0-rc3-1-mainline #1 SMP PREEMPT Mon, 29 Nov 2021 21:15:09 +0000 x86_64 GNU/Linux

/sys/class/backlight/intel_backlight/max_brightness: 26666
/sys/class/backlight/intel_backlight/bl_power: 0 (When set to 1, the backlight turns off)
/sys/class/backlight/intel_backlight/brightness: 1333 (Has no effects whenever set to a non-zero value, zero causes a blackscreen)
/sys/class/backlight/intel_backlight/type: "raw"

Kernel Parameters: `root=/dev/mapper/archroot rw resume=UUID=6514112c-9b82-4b82-b2a8-2bd2b372f2ae loglevel=15`

Tried parameters:

i915.enable_dpcd_backlight=0
i915.enable_dpcd_backlight=1
acpi_backlight=video
acpi_backlight=vendor
acpi_backlight=native

Additional info:
* package version(s)
Name : linux-mainline
Version : 5.16rc3-1

* config and/or log files etc.
Attached

* The brightness adjustment works in Windows, so it's probably not a hardware problem.

Reason for closing:  Fixed
Additional comments about closing:  2022-01-28: A task closure has been requested. Reason for request: This has been fixed in a newer kernel version, which introduced a new module named `nvidia_wmi_ec_backlight`.

I tried for the current Linux kernel, which is `Linux arch 5.15.5-arch1-1 #1 SMP PREEMPT Thu, 25 Nov 2021 22:09:33 +0000 x86_64 GNU/Linux
` and the problem exists as well.
