2024-10-06platform/x86: wmi: Update WMI driver API documentationArmin Wolf
The WMI driver core now passes the WMI event data to legacy notify handlers, so WMI devices sharing notification IDs are now being handled properly. Fixes: e04e2b760ddb ("platform/x86: wmi: Pass event data directly to legacy notify handlers") Signed-off-by: Armin Wolf <W_Armin@gmx.de> Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20241005213825.701887-1-W_Armin@gmx.de Signed-off-by: Hans de Goede <hdegoede@redhat.com>
2023-05-09platform/x86: wmi: Add documentationArmin Wolf
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.
