[PATCH v2] platform/x86: wmi-bmof: New driver to expose embedded Binary WMI MOF metadata

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Many laptops (and maybe servers?) have embedded WMI Binary MOF metadata.
We do not yet have open-source tools for processing the data, although
one is in the works thanks to Pali:

	https://github.com/pali/bmfdec

There is currently no interface to get the data in the first place. By
exposing it, we facilitate the development of new tools.

since-v1:
 * address Pali's comments:
   * update the cover letter for clarity and accuracy
   * update mof->bmof and MOF to Binary MOF throughout the patch
   * use dev_err instead of dev_warn in wmi_bmof_probe
