platform/x86: wmi: Remove extern keyword from prototypes

2025-11-18T09:18:09+00:00

The external function definitions do not need the "extern" keyword. Remove it to silence the associated checkpatch warnings. Signed-off-by: Armin Wolf Link: https://patch.msgid.link/20251111131125.3379-4-W_Armin@gmx.de Reviewed-by: Ilpo Järvinen Signed-off-by: Ilpo Järvinen

platform/x86: wmi: Introduce to_wmi_driver()

2024-10-29T13:44:23+00:00

Introduce to_wmi_driver() as a replacement for dev_to_wdrv() so WMI drivers can use this support macro instead of having to duplicate its functionality.

platform/x86: wmi: Replace dev_to_wdev() with to_wmi_device()

2024-10-29T13:44:21+00:00

Replace dev_to_wdev() with to_wmi_device() to stop duplicating functionality. Also switch to_wmi_device() to use container_of_const() so const values are handled correctly.

platform/x86: wmi: Implement proper shutdown handling

2024-10-09T09:04:48+00:00

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.

Add support for forcing the WMI driver core to bind a certain WMI driver to a WMI device.

platform/x86: wmi: Do not instantiate older WMI drivers multiple times

2024-03-12T10:47:35+00:00

Many older WMI drivers cannot be instantiated multiple times for two reasons: - they are using the legacy GUID-based WMI API - they are singletons (with global state) Prevent such WMI drivers from binding to WMI devices with a duplicated GUID, as this would mean that the WMI driver will be instantiated at least two times (one for the original GUID and one for the duplicated GUID). WMI drivers which can be instantiated multiple times can signal this by setting a flag inside struct wmi_driver. Tested on a ASUS Prime B650-Plus.

platform/x86: wmi: Prevent incompatible event driver from probing

2024-02-27T12:44:14+00:00

If a WMI event driver has no_notify_data set, then it indicates support for WMI events which provide no notify data, otherwise the notify() callback expects a valid ACPI object as notify data. However if a WMI event driver which requires notify data is bound to a WMI event device which cannot retrieve such data due to the _WED ACPI method being absent, then the driver will be dysfunctional since all WMI events will be dropped due to the missing notify data. Fix this by not allowing such WMI event drivers to bind to WMI event devices which do not support retrieving of notify data. Also reword the description of no_notify_data a bit.

platform/x86: wmi: Remove chardev interface

2023-12-11T10:24:11+00:00

The design of the WMI chardev interface is broken: - it assumes that WMI drivers are not instantiated twice - it offers next to no abstractions, the WMI driver gets a raw byte buffer - it is only used by a single driver, something which is unlikely to change Since the only user (dell-smbios-wmi) has been migrated to his own ioctl interface, remove it.
