TL;DR: 1. introduce new module to contain bios attributes, using fw_attributes_class 2. deprecate all possible attributes from asus-wmi that were added ad-hoc 3. remove those in the next LTS cycle The idea for this originates from a conversation with Mario Limonciello https://lore.kernel.org/platform-driver-x86/371d4109-a3bb-4c3b-802f-4ec27a945c99@xxxxxxx/ It is without a doubt much cleaner to use, easier to discover, and the API is well defined as opposed to the random clutter of attributes I had been placing in the platform sysfs. There is some discussion on-going regarding the way tuning knobs such as the PPT_* should work with platform_profile. This may result in the creation of an extra profile type "Custom" to signify that the user has adjusted things away from the defaults used by profiles such as "balanced" or "quiet". Regards, Luke Changelog: - v1 - Initial submission - v2 - Too many changes to list, but all concerns raised in previous submission addressed. - History: https://lore.kernel.org/platform-driver-x86/20240716051612.64842-1-luke@xxxxxxxxxx/ - v3 - All concerns addressed. - History: https://lore.kernel.org/platform-driver-x86/20240806020747.365042-1-luke@xxxxxxxxxx/ - v4 - Use EXPORT_SYMBOL_NS_GPL() for the symbols required in this patch series - Add patch for hid-asus due to the use of EXPORT_SYMBOL_NS_GPL() - Split the PPT knobs out to a separate patch - Split the hd_panel setting out to a new patch - Clarify some of APU MEM configuration and convert int to hex - Rename deprecated Kconfig option to ASUS_WMI_DEPRECATED_ATTRS - Fixup cyclic dependency in Kconfig - v5 - deprecate patch: cleanup ``#if`, ``#endif` statements, edit kconfig detail, edit commit msg - cleanup ppt* tuning patch - proper error handling in module init, plus pr_err() - ppt tunables have a notice if there is no match to get defaults - better error handling in cpu core handling - don't continue if failure - use the mutex to gate WMI writes - V6 - correctly cleanup/unwind if module init fails Luke D.
