Add an acpi_video_get_backlight_type() == acpi_backlight_nvidia_wmi_ec check. This will make nvidia-wmi-ec-backlight properly honor the user selecting a different backlight driver through the acpi_backlight=... kernel commandline option. Since the auto-detect code check for nvidia-wmi-ec-backlight in drivers/acpi/video_detect.c already checks that the WMI advertised brightness-source is the embedded controller, this new check makes it unnecessary for nvidia_wmi_ec_backlight_probe() to check this itself.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
