This patch enables full hardware control for the HP OMEN 16 (Board ID 8E35), unlocking performance limits and enabling native lighting control via hp-wmi.
- Nvidia GPU TGP Unleashed: Removes the artificial Total Graphics Power (TGP) limit enforced by the embedded controller, allowing your GPU to draw full wattage for maximum performance.
- 4-Zone RGB Control: Adds a sysfs interface to manually control the 4-zone keyboard backlight without needing external bloated software.
You can set the keyboard color by writing a 24-character hex string to the fourzone_color interface.
The string consists of four RGB Hex codes concatenated together (Zone 1 through Zone 4).
[ZONE_1_RRGGBB][ZONE_2_RRGGBB][ZONE_3_RRGGBB][ZONE_4_RRGGBB]
To set a rainbow pattern (Red, Green, Blue, Yellow):
# Zone 1: FF0000 (Red)
# Zone 2: 00FF00 (Green)
# Zone 3: 0000FF (Blue)
# Zone 4: FFFF00 (Yellow)
