Yes since 6.1.y (either stable series or just take 6.2.0) the apple-gmux
detect code has been factored out into a stand-alone
apple_gmux_detect() helper inside:

include/linux/apple-gmux.h

For usage outside of the actual apple-gmux driver you can simply
pass NULL for both arguments.

This was necessary to reliably check if the apple-gmux should be
used for backlight control.

Note there also is the older apple_gmux_present() helper, which is
already used in some drm code. That function is not reliable though
it detects if the ACPI tables contain an ACPI device describing
the presence of a gmux, but it turns out even Apple has buggy ACPI
tables and the mere presence of that ACPI device is not a reliable
indicator the gmux is actually there.

I have not changed over any of the existing apple_gmux_present()
users for fear of unwanted side effects...

Regards,

Hans
