This patch series adds support for some functions that are found on newer ASUS gaming laptops: - Panel overdrive: Some laptops can drive the LCD matrix slightly faster to eliminate or reduce ghosting artifacts - dGPU disable: ASUS added a function in ACPI to disable or enable the dGPU which removes it from the PCI bus. Presumably this was to help prevent Windows apps from using the dGPU when the user didn't want them to but because of how it works it also means that when rebooted to Linux the dGPU no-longer exits. This patch enables a user to echo 0/1 to a WMI path to re-enable it (or disable, but the drivers *must* be unloaded first). - eGPU enable: The ASUS x-flow lpatop has an iGPU, a dGPU, and an optional eGPU. This patch enables the user to echo 0/1 to a WMI path to enable or disable the eGPU. In ACPI this also appears to remove the dGPU from the PCI bus. All of the above patches have been tested over the course of a few months. There is a small possibility of user error perhaps, where the user tries to enable or disable the dGPU/eGPU while drivers are loaded which would cause a system hang, but it is expected that almost all users would be using the `asusctl` daemon and dbus methods to manage the above which then eliminates these issues.
