Subject: [PATCH v3 3/3] platform/x86: wmi-bmof: Move to generic WMI code
Date: Fri, 24 Jul 2026 04:59:59 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260724025959.142826-4-W_Armin@gmx.de> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260724025959.142826-1-W_Armin@gmx.de>
Some Windows-on-Arm notebooks contain embedded Binary MOF data,
accessible using the WMI-ACPI interface. Move the associated driver
to the generic WMI code to make it possible to build it on arm64.
Also rework the Kconfig help text a bit.
