[PATCH 0/2] platform/x86: wmi: Add driver_override support

Posted by Armin Wolf 1 year, 5 months ago

This patch series add support for using the driver_override sysfs
attribute with WMI devices. The reason for this is that there will
exist a couple of generic WMI drivers in the future for allowing
driver developers to directly access the underlying WMI device.

Since those generic WMI drivers do not have an ID table, the
driver_override mechanism is used to bind them to WMI devices.
