[PATCH v3 0/5] platform/x86: introduce asus-armoury driver

["Luke D. Jones" <luke@ljones.dev>]

This is the first major patch I've ever done with the intention of
introducing a new module, so it's highly likely I've made some mistakes
or misunderstood something.

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
