Implements platform profile support for Dell laptops with new WMAX thermal
interface, present on some Alienware X-Series, Alienware M-Series and
Dell's G-Series laptops. This interface is suspected to be used by
Alienware Command Center (AWCC), which is not available for linux
systems, to manage thermal profiles.
This implementation makes use of three WMI methods, namely
THERMAL_CONTROL, THERMAL_INFORMATION and GAME_SHIFT_STATUS, which take
u32 as input and output arguments. Each method has a set of supported
operations specified in their respective enums.
Not all models with WMAX WMI interface support these methods. Because of
this, models have to manually declare support through new quirks
`thermal` for THERMAL_CONTROL and THERMAL_INFORMATION and `gmode` for
GAME_SHIFT_STATUS.
Wrappers written for these methods support multiple operations.
THERMAL_CONTROL switches thermal modes through operation
ACTIVATE_PROFILE. Available thermal codes are auto-detected at runtime
and matched against a list of known thermal codes:
Thermal Table "User Selectable Thermal Tables" (USTT):
BALANCED 0xA0
BALANCED_PERFORMANCE 0xA1
COOL 0xA2
QUIET 0xA3
PERFORMANCE 0xA4
LOW_POWER 0xA5
Thermal Table Basic:
QUIET 0x96
BALANCED 0x97
BALANCED_PERFORMANCE 0x98
PERFORMANCE 0x99
Devices are known to implement only one of these tables without mixing
their thermal codes.
The fact that the least significant digit of every thermal code is
consecutive of one another is exploited to efficiently match codes
through arrays.
Autodetection of available codes is done through operation LIST_IDS of
method THERMAL_INFORMATION. This operation lists fan IDs, CPU sensor ID,
GPU sensor ID and available thermal profile codes, *in that order*. As
number of fans and thermal codes is very model dependent, almost every
ID is scanned and matched based on conditions found on
is_wmax_thermal_code(). The known upper bound for the number of IDs is
13, corresponding to a device that have 4 fans, 2 sensors and 7 thermal
codes.
Additionally G-Series laptops have a key called G-key, which (with AWCC
proprietary driver) switches the thermal mode to an special mode named
GMODE with code 0xAB and changes Game Shift Status to 1. Game Shift is a
mode the manufacturer claims, increases gaming performance.
GAME_SHIFT_STATUS method is used to mimic this behavior when selecting
PLATFORM_PROFILE_PERFORMANCE option.
All of these profiles are known to only change fan speed profiles,
although there are untested claims that some of them also change power
profiles.
Activating a thermal mode with method THERMAL_CONTROL may cause short
hangs. This is a known problem present on every platform.

v10:
- Corrected THERMAL_MODE_BASIC_BALANCED -> THERMAL_MODE_BASIC_QUIET in
is_wmax_thermal_code() logic
- `thermal` and `gmode` quirks now have to be manually selected,
because not all Dell devices posses the new WMI thermal methods.
- Because of the above reason, errors in create_thermal_profile are now
propagated
v9:
- Bool comparisons are now coherent with their type
v8:
- Fixed alignment in wmax_mode_to_platform_profile[]
- Quirk thermal and gmode changed from u8 -> bool
- Autodetected quirk entries are not initialized
- is_wmax_thermal_code refactored to increase readibility
- is_wmax_thermal_code now covers all possibilities
- Better commit message
v7:
- Method operations are now clearly listed as separate enums
- wmax_thermal_modes are now listed without codes in order to support
autodetection, as well as getting and setting thermal profiles
cleanly through arrays
- Added wmax_mode_to_platform_profile[]
- Added struct wmax_u32_args to replace bit mask approach of
constructing arguments for wmax methods
- create_thermal_profile now autodetects available thermal codes
through operation 0x03 of THERMAL_INFORMATION method. These are
codes are stored in supported_thermal_profiles[]
- thermal_profile_get now uses wmax_mode_to_platform_profile[] instead of
switch-case approach
- thermal_profile_set now uses supported_thermal_profiles[] instead of
switch-case approach
- When gmode is autodetected, thermal_profile_set also sets Game Shift
status accordingly
v6:
- Fixed alignment on some function definitions
- Fixed braces on if statment
- Removed quirk thermal_ustt
- Now quirk thermal can take values defined in enum WMAX_THERMAL_TABLE.
- Proper removal of thermal_profile
