Issue/Bug Description:

system76-power does not switch to dGPU AMD Radeon 6600M via terminal.

Steps to reproduce (if you know):
ran in terminal with help from helpful folks on telegram. It did not work. We had to manually type out DRI_PRIME=1 or DRI_PRIME=0 to turn it on and off.

Expected behavior:

Switching from iGPU to dGPU

Other Notes:

After help from a couple of regular helpers in your telegram group we were able to reproduce and they suggested that my card may not yet be supported by system76-power and to report to your git. So here I am. The workarounds are fine for now. But I wanted to forward the findings. Thanks for everyting you do!

AMD CPU + AMD dGPU is not a supported combination. I think laptops with this setup will always be in a "hybrid graphics" mode.
