Chassis type 31 was missing from the laptop allowlist, so hybrid 2-in-1s got the desktop profile and a blank Plymouth/LUKS screen. Fixes CachyOS#270

.primeNVIDIA profiles only matched DMI chassis types 8–11 (Portable, Laptop, Notebook, Hand Held). Convertibles report chassis type 31, so hybrid Intel + NVIDIA 2-in-1s were assigned the desktop profile instead.The desktop profile writes
/etc/mkinitcpio.conf.d/10-chwd-kms.conf, which removes thekmshook. On systems where the internal panel is driven by the iGPU, Plymouth/LUKS then starts with only the NVIDIA driver loaded, resulting in a blank screen.chwd -i nvidia-open-dkms.prime -falso failed because-fdoes not bypass the chassis filter, so the profile was never made available.Add chassis type 31 to
nvidia-open-dkms.prime,nvidia-dkms-580xx.prime, andnvidia-dkms-470xx.prime.Tested on an HP Spectre x360 16-aa0xxx (chassis type 31,
8086:7d55+10de:28a1). After the change,chwd --listofferednvidia-open-dkms.primeat priority 11. Installing it removed10-chwd-kms.conf, and thekmshook ran during the initramfs rebuild.Fixes #270
