My intel iris gpu doesn't use the iris driver

Q&A
1

i have an intel iris gpu Intel Corporation Alder Lake-UP3 GT2 [Iris Xe Graphics] and when i check lspci -k | grep -EA3 'VGA|3D|Display' i get this output

00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation Alder Lake-UP3 GT2 [Iris Xe Graphics] (rev 0c)
	Subsystem: Dell Device 0baa
	Kernel driver in use: i915
	Kernel modules: xe

the kernel module is correct but the kernel driver uses the i915 driver which is incorrect
i have the iris driver

ain@majid~ $ ls /usr/lib64/dri/
crocus_dri.so        i965_drv_video.so  nouveau_drv_video.so  radeonsi_drv_video.so    zink_dri.so
d3d12_dri.so         iHD_drv_video.so   r300_dri.so           swrast_dri.so
d3d12_drv_video.so   iris_dri.so        r600_dri.so           virtio_gpu_dri.so
hybrid_drv_video.so  kms_swrast_dri.so  r600_drv_video.so     virtio_gpu_drv_video.so
i915_dri.so          nouveau_dri.so     radeonsi_dri.so       vmwgfx_dri.so
ain@majid~ $

but its not bien used at all
how can make the system uses the iris driver instead
thanks;
