Hi,
quick learning question: Why is wmi_bus_type not exported unlike, for
example, acpi_bus_type, and platform_bus_type?
Wanted to use bus_find_device_by_name in an acpi driver that might
need additional infos from a wmi interface that might or might not be
present.
Kind regards,

What kind of information do you have in mind? wmi_bus_type is not
being exported for historic reasons, i can change that if necessary.
It's for the tuxedo-drivers part for the Sirius 16 Gen 1 & 2 which has
a slow wmi and a quick acpi interface, however the quick acpi
interface can not get the max rpm of the cooling fans, but the wmi
interface can.
Thing is for the acpi driver we might plan an earlier upstream date
and it might get multi-odm support, while the wmi interface is and
stays odm specific. So my idea was to only couple both drivers in a
dynamic way using bus_find_device_by_name.
Interesting, how is the ACPI interface not ODM specific? Can you elaborate a bit on how the ACPI and the WMI interfaces work?
Thanks,
