[PATCH v6 0/9] platform/x86: introduce asus-armoury driver
Posted by Luke D. Jones 1 month, 4 weeks ago
TL;DR:
1. introduce new module to contain bios attributes, using fw_attributes_class
2. deprecate all possible attributes from asus-wmi that were added ad-hoc
3. remove those in the next LTS cycle

The idea for this originates from a conversation with Mario Limonciello
https://lore.kernel.org/platform-driver-x86/371d4109-a3bb-4c3b-802f-4ec27a945c99@amd.com/

It is without a doubt much cleaner to use, easier to discover, and the
API is well defined as opposed to the random clutter of attributes I had
been placing in the platform sysfs.

There is some discussion on-going regarding the way tuning knobs such as
the PPT_* should work with platform_profile. This may result in the creation
of an extra profile type "Custom" to signify that the user has adjusted
things away from the defaults used by profiles such as "balanced" or "quiet".

Regards,
Luke

Hi all, did I have anything left to do on this series? I'm quite certain I've covered everything now.

Cheers,
Luke.
