Hi folks,
In order to add Nvidia Optimus support on Lenovo laptops, I'm trying to fix the last issues on [1], but I need your help to do some test on Lenovo's firmware. On Lenovo Sandy Bridge / Ivy Bridge series the PMH7 register 0x50 controls dGPU power. Comments on Gerrit show that different bits on different generations are used.

Please use util/pmh7tool on vendor firmware with Optimus enabled and graphics driver loaded:

$ ./pmh7tool -r 0x50

To wake the GPU from sleep, you can simply run lspci, or a graphical 3D application.
It will go back to sleep after a few seconds of idle.

Please report which bits toggle and the device you run tests on.
It will help to add proper Nvidia Optimus support to all Lenovo laptops.
