470xx drivers and linux 6.0 kernel

Graphics / Linux Linux

today i updated my opensuse tumbleweed system to linux kernel 6.0.
but when i tried to create the nvidia driver for that kernel it failed.
i uploaded the installer log to this post.
the first of multiple errors is:

/tmp/NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-470.141.03/kernel/nvidia/nv-acpi.c:270:43: error: ‘struct acpi_device’ has no member named ‘children’
     270 |     list_for_each_safe(node, next, &device->children)

so, the question is, if and when does a kernel 6.0 compatible 470xx driver will be released?

It builds with this patch, but ACPI is once again slaughtered. With this patch and kernel 6.0, the backlighting is at full capacity and cannot be reduced.
A systemctl | grep backlight allows to notice the disappearance of systemd-backlight@backlight:nvidia_0.service.
Anyone has an idea how can this issue be fixed ?

What comand line is used to patch the driver using patch from link above ?
I have tried and not is possible patch showing error in patch line.

i patched it the following way:

  1. unpack the archive with ./NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-470.141.03.run --extract-only
  2. cd NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-470.141.03/kernel
  3. patch --verbose --backup --strip=1 --input=/path/to/kernel-6.0.patch

Adding

    Option         "RegistryDwords" "EnableBrightnessControl=1"
    Option         "Backlight" "nvidia_backlight"

to Device section in the xorg.conf file seems to have solved the backlight issue.

Your reply work. Thanks.
Hey the binary have an command line -apply-patch.
Is possible use the patch directly with that command option ?

The driver patched is working without problems in your machine ?
Here in not issues at moment.

I tryed this patch on my Gentoo amd64 with kernel 6.0.5 and… it hangs loading the nvidia-drm module by generating a segmentation fault (invalid OPCODE). See here: https://forums.developer.nvidia.com/t/nvidia-470-141-03-kernel-6/229885/3?u=iade.gesso

Hi ** iade.gesso**

I used the patches from your post and everything worked for me now. Fedora 36 and kernel 6.0.5
