asus-linux/asusctl 2.2.0 on GitLab

CLI args for bios. Cleanup and improve

dbus method for 'supported functions'
add dedicated gfx safety
bring ctrl-gfx back in to main control for better integration
safely upgrade config files

The release contains an additional controller for bios interation. Two things are available so far:

dedicated gfx mode
bios POST sound Dedicated-gfx-mode is not usable on your laptop unless it explicitly supports it (so not on G14 or G15 so far. Is on GX5xx and GX7xx with G-SYNC). Additionally there is a config key gfx_nv_mode_is_dedicated to make asusctl graphics -m nvidia turn on dedicated mode when switching to nvidia mode.

POST sound is available on all laptops I know of so far. More functions may be added in future.

The above is the reason for an extra dbus method and path to fetch a json string of everything supported by the laptop and looks like this:

{
  "anime_ctrl": false,
  "charge_ctrl": {
    "charge_level_set": true
  },
  "fan_cpu_ctrl": {
    "stock_fan_modes": true,
    "min_max_freq": true,
    "fan_curve_set": false
  },
  "keyboard_led": {
    "brightness_set": true,
    "stock_led_modes": [
      0,
      1,
      2,
      3,
      4,
      5,
      6,
      7,
      8,
      10,
      11,
      12
    ],
    "per_key_led_mode": true
  },
  "rog_bios_ctrl": {
    "post_sound_toggle": true,
    "dedicated_gfx_toggle": true
  }
}

Another benefit of adding this is that third-parties can now call the dbus method to get that, and check if and what is supported.

I've added config parsing safety so that from now on if config in asusd code is changed, your config will be non-destructively updated.
