Bug Description

System information
------------------

Distributor ID: Ubuntu
Description: Ubuntu Jammy Jellyfish (development branch)
Release: 22.04
Codename: jammy
Integrated AMD GPU: AMD Ryzen 7 5800H with Radeon Graphics
GPU : NVIDIA GA106M [GeForce RTX 3060 Mobile / Max-Q] with nvidia-driver-510

Description of the problem
--------------------------

I can't change the brightness of the screen using the hot keys or the settings menu.

It is clear that these buttons are acting on the value stored in /sys/class/backlight/nvidia_0/brightness, but has no effect on the actual brightness.

However, modifying manually the value in /sys/class/backlight/amdgpu_bl0/brightness changes the actual brightness.

Troubleshooting attempts
------------------------

If I downgrade the nvidia dirver from 510 to 470, controlling brightness works fine.

Using nvidia-driver-495 also works fine.
