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. > > >>>> > > >>>> Jean-Jacques Hiblot, would you like to take a look on this regression, > > >>>> since you authored the culprit? > > > > > >>> The offending commit stores the color in struct led_classdev and exposes it > > >>> via sysfs.
