Kernel config option — keyboard backlight control for Xiaomi laptops

Feedback Feature Request
1

Hello, Manjaro Team!

I would like to kindly request adding the following option to the default Manjaro kernel config:

CONFIG_REDMI_WMI=m

This driver (introduced in Linux 6.18) provides keyboard backlight control (and in some models also other Fn-key features) on recent Xiaomi RedmiBook laptops (RedmiBook 14/16 2024, RedmiBook Pro 14/15 2024, etc.). Right now users with these devices have to compile a custom kernel or use an AUR kernel that explicitly enables the option, which is a bit inconvenient.

Thank you for your time and for considering this request!

I don’t see an issue with that. There you go:

This will be included only in the next rebuild however - likely with 6.18.1
