Where did you get this feedback, and what systems does it cover? Also, this is not about being able to switch to the integrated GPU to drive the built-in panel, but for driving an external GPU connected to a different screen altogether. AIUI, this has never worked on these systems, right? So why is this important now, for 10 year old Macbooks? > I was wondering if we can reach a conclusion for this case here. > I'd prefer to address this in a different way: instead of fixing this in the Linux kernel for the handful of systems that need this (and that will upgrade to v6.15 or later to get this fix), why not use a separate boot-time EFI app to call the protocol. That way, it works with existing kernels too, and no changes are needed to Linux. https://paste.debian.net/1349311/
