This patch allows for the manual setting of cmd values 0xb3 and 0xb4. This is necessary on some TUF laptops in order to set the RGB mode. This should not break functionality that other machines might depend on. See bug report: https://lore.kernel.org/platform-driver-x86/443078148.491022.1677576298133@xxxxxxxxxxx/ With this you can pass 179 and 180 to the /sys/class/leds interface. I think a better solution would be to somehow detect which devices require these values on driver initialization and then just handle it like before 1 saving to bios and 0 simply setting it.
