Just a heads up. Hans and Mark took maintenance for PDx86 and they may
look at this contribution.
It seems full discussion is available [1] on lore. So, I removed the
rest of the message.

This driver has been available on
https://github.com/iksaif/thinkpad-wmi for
a few year and is already deployed on large
fleets of thinkpad laptops.
The WMI interface is documented here:
http://download.lenovo.com/ibmdl/pub/pc/pccbbs/thinkcentre_pdf/hrdeploy_en.pdf
It mostly focused on changing BIOS/Firmware settings.
As a note for anybody interested in this topic - we've been working on
an updated version:
https://github.com/lenovo/thinklmi
We do plan to contribute this upstream, but after initial review it was
determined that our approach of using an ioctl was not going to be
accepted. We also need to integrate with the new sysfs
firmware-attributes class that has been implemented. That work is ongoing :)
Once we've updated we'll be looking at contributing this to the
community properly.
Thanks
Mark
