Merge tag 'platform-drivers-x86-v4.15-1' of git://git.infradead.org/linux-platform-drivers-x86
Pull x86 platform driver updates from Andy Shevchenko: "Here is the collected material against Platform Drivers x86 subsystem. It's rather bit busy cycle for PDx86, mostly due to Dell SMBIOS driver activity For this cycle we have quite an update for the Dell SMBIOS driver including WMI work to provide an interface for SMBIOS tokens via sysfs and WMI support for 2017+ Dell laptop models. SMM dispatcher code is split into a separate driver followed by a new WMI dispatcher. The latter provides a character device interface to user space. The git history also contains a merge of immutable branch from Wolfram Sang in order to apply a dependent fix to the Intel CherryTrail Battery Management driver. Other Intel drivers got a lot of cleanups. The Turbo Boost Max 3.0 support is added for Intel Skylake. Peaq WMI hotkeys driver gets its own maintainer and white list of supported models. Silead DMI is expanded to support few additional platforms. Tablet mode via GMMS ACPI method is added to support some ThinkPad tablets. new driver: - Add driver to force WMI Thunderbolt controller power status asus-wmi: - Add lightbar led support dell-laptop: - Allocate buffer before rfkill use dell-smbios: - fix string overflow - Add filtering support - Introduce dispatcher for SMM calls - Add a sysfs interface for SMBIOS tokens - only run if proper oem string is detected - Prefix class/select with cmd_ - Add pr_fmt definition to driver dell-smbios-smm: - test for WSMT dell-smbios-wmi: - release mutex lock on WMI call failure - introduce userspace interface - Add new WMI dispatcher driver dell-smo8800: - remove redundant assignments to byte_data dell-wmi: - don't check length returned - clean up wmi descriptor check - increase severity of some failures - Do not match on descriptor GUID modalias - Label driver as handling notifications dell-*wmi*: - Relay failed initial probe to dependent drivers dell-wmi-descriptor: - check if memory was allocated - split WMI descriptor into it's own driver fujitsu-laptop: - Fix radio LED detection - Don't oops when FUJ02E3 is not presnt hp_accel: - Add quirk for HP ProBook 440 G4 hp-wmi: - Fix tablet mode detection for convertibles ideapad-laptop: - Add Lenovo Yoga 920-13IKB to no_hw_rfkill dmi list intel_cht_int33fe: - Update fusb302 type string, add properties - make a couple of local functions static - Work around BIOS bug on some devices intel-hid: - Power button suspend on Dell Latitude 7275 intel_ips: - Convert timers to use timer_setup() - Remove FSF address from GPL notice - Remove unneeded fields and label - Keep pointer to struct device - Use PCI_VDEVICE() macro - Switch to new PCI IRQ allocation API - Simplify error handling via devres API intel_pmc_ipc: - Revert Use MFD framework to create dependent devices - Use MFD framework to create dependent devices - Use spin_lock to protect GCR updates - Use devm_* calls in driver probe function intel_punit_ipc: - Fix resource ioremap warning intel_telemetry: - Remove useless default in Kconfig - Add needed inclusion - cleanup redundant headers - Fix typos - Fix load failure info intel_telemetry_debugfs: - Use standard ARRAY_SIZE() macro intel_turbo_max_3: - Add Skylake platform intel-wmi-thunderbolt: - Silence error cases mlx-platform: - make a couple of structures static peaq_wmi: - Fix missing terminating entry for peaq_dmi_table peaq-wmi: - Remove unnecessary checks from peaq_wmi_exit - Add DMI check before binding to the WMI interface - Revert Blacklist Lenovo ideapad 700-15ISK - Blacklist Lenovo ideapad 700-15ISK silead_dmi: - Add silead, home-button property to some tablets - Add entry for the Digma e200 tablet - Fix GP-electronic T701 entry - Add entry for the Chuwi Hi8 Pro tablet sony-laptop: - Drop variable assignment in sony_nc_setup_rfkill() - Fix error handling in sony_nc_setup_rfkill() thinkpad_acpi: - Implement tablet mode using GMMS method tools/wmi: - add a sample for dell smbios communication over WMI wmi: - release mutex on module acquistion failure - create userspace interface for drivers - Don't allow drivers to get each other's GUIDs - Add new method wmidev_evaluate_method - Destroy on cleanup rather than unregister - Cleanup exit routine in reverse order of init - Sort include list" * tag 'platform-drivers-x86-v4.15-1' of git://git.infradead.org/linux-platform-drivers-x86: (74 commits) platform/x86: silead_dmi: Add silead, home-button property to some tablets platform/x86: dell-laptop: Allocate buffer before rfkill use platform/x86: dell-*wmi*: Relay failed initial probe to dependent drivers platform/x86: dell-wmi-descriptor: check if memory was allocated platform/x86: Revert intel_pmc_ipc: Use MFD framework to create dependent devices platform/x86: dell-smbios-wmi: release mutex lock on WMI call failure platform/x86: wmi: release mutex on module acquistion failure platform/x86: dell-smbios: fix string overflow platform/x86: intel_pmc_ipc: Use MFD framework to create dependent devices platform/x86: intel_punit_ipc: Fix resource ioremap warning platform/x86: dell-smo8800: remove redundant assignments to byte_data platform/x86: hp-wmi: Fix tablet mode detection for convertibles platform/x86: intel_ips: Convert timers to use timer_setup() platform/x86: sony-laptop: Drop variable assignment in sony_nc_setup_rfkill() platform/x86: sony-laptop: Fix error handling in sony_nc_setup_rfkill() tools/wmi: add a sample for dell smbios communication over WMI platform/x86: dell-smbios-wmi: introduce userspace interface platform/x86: wmi: create userspace interface for drivers platform/x86: dell-smbios: Add filtering support platform/x86: dell-smbios-smm: test for WSMT ...

+Description:
+ Perform SMBIOS calls on supported Dell machines.
+ through the Dell ACPI-WMI interface.
+
+ IOCTL's and buffer formats are defined in:
+ <uapi/linux/wmi.h>
+
+ 1) To perform an SMBIOS call from userspace, you'll need to
+ first determine the minimum size of the calling interface
+ buffer for your machine.
+ Platforms that contain larger buffers can return larger
+ objects from the system firmware.
+ Commonly this size is either 4k or 32k.
+
+ To determine the size of the buffer read() a u64 dword from
+ the WMI character device /dev/wmi/dell-smbios.
+
+ 2) After you've determined the minimum size of the calling
+ interface buffer, you can allocate a structure that represents
+ the structure documented above.
+
+ 3) In the 'length' object store the size of the buffer you
+ determined above and allocated.
+
+ 4) In this buffer object, prepare as necessary for the SMBIOS
+ call you're interested in. Typically SMBIOS buffers have
+ "class", "select", and "input" defined to values that coincide
+ with the data you are interested in.
+ Documenting class/select/input values is outside of the scope
+ of this documentation. Check with the libsmbios project for
+ further documentation on these values.
+
+ 6) Run the call by using ioctl() as described in the header.
+
+ 7) The output will be returned in the buffer object.
+
+ 8) Be sure to free up your allocated object.

+ A read-only description of Dell platform tokens

+
+ Each token attribute is available as a pair of
+ sysfs attributes readable by a process with
+ CAP_SYS_ADMIN.
+
+ For example the token ID "5" would be available
+ as the following attributes:
+
+ 0005_location
+ 0005_value
+
+ Tokens will vary from machine to machine, and
+ only tokens available on that machine will be
+ displayed.

configure the interface or let your GUI to handle it automatically.
+
+Forcing power
+-------------
+Many OEMs include a method that can be used to force the power of a
+thunderbolt controller to an "On" state even if nothing is connected.
+If supported by your machine this will be exposed by the WMI bus with
+a sysfs attribute called "force_power".
+
+For example the intel-wmi-thunderbolt driver exposes this attribute in:
+ /sys/devices/platform/PNP0C14:00/wmi_bus/wmi_bus-PNP0C14:00/86CCFD48-205E-4A77-9C48-2021CBEDE341/force_power
+
+ To force the power to on, write 1 to this attribute file.
+ To disable force power, write 0 to this attribute file.
+
+Note: it's currently not possible to query the force power state of a platform.
