* docs: platform/x86: wmi: mention tool for invoking WMI methodsHridesh MG2025-01-091-0/+4
| | | | | | | | | | | | | Add a reference to WMIExplorer, a tool useful for inspecting and invoking WMI methods on Windows. This can assist developers in testing and understanding WMI device functionality when porting drivers to Linux.

| * platform/x86: wmi: Implement proper shutdown handlingArmin Wolf2024-10-091-1/+6
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | When performing a system shutdown under Windows, all WMI clients are terminated. This means that the ACPI BIOS might expect all WMI devices to be disabled when shutting down. Emulate this behaviour by disabling all active WMI devices during shutdown. Also introduce a new WMI driver callback to allow WMI drivers to perform any device-specific actions before disabling the WMI device. Tested on a Dell Inspiron 3505.

* platform/x86: wmi: Add MSI WMI Platform driverArmin Wolf2024-04-291-0/+194
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Add a new driver for the MSI WMI Platform interface. The underlying ACPI WMI interface supports many features, but so far only reading of fan speed sensors is implemented. The driver was reverse-engineered based on a user request to the lm-sensors project, see the github issue for details. The ACPI WMI interface used by this driver seems to use the same embedded controller interface as the msi-ec driver, but supports automatic discovery of supported machines without relying on a DMI whitelist. The driver was tested by the user who created the github issue.

* platform/x86: wmi: Add driver development guideArmin Wolf2024-04-082-0/+179
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Since 2010, an LWN article covering WMI drivers exists: https://lwn.net/Articles/391230/ Since the introduction of the modern bus-based interface and other userspace tooling (bmfdec, lswmi, ...), this article is outdated and causes people to still submit new WMI drivers using the deprecated GUID-based interface. Fix this by adding a short guide on how to develop WMI drivers using the modern bus-based interface.

* platform/x86: wmi: Add documentationArmin Wolf2023-05-092-0/+114
Add documentation for the WMI subsystem. The documentation describes both the ACPI WMI interface and the driver API for interacting with the WMI driver core. The information regarding the ACPI interface was retrieved from the Ubuntu kernel references and the Windows driver samples available on GitHub. The documentation is supposed to help driver developers writing WMI drivers, as many modern machines designed to run Windows provide an ACPI WMI interface.
