Subject: [PATCH] HID: asus: Filter HID vendor codes and add WMI fan control support for ROG laptops
Date: Tue, 6 Jan 2026 16:04:52 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260106140449.90506-5-sunlightlinux@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260106140449.90506-3-sunlightlinux@gmail.com>
From: Ionut Nechita <ionut_n2001@yahoo.com>
On Asus ROG G14 and G15 laptops, several HID vendor usage codes are sent
during normal operation without a clear purpose, generating unwanted
"Unmapped Asus vendor usagepage code" warnings in dmesg.
Additionally, the Fn+F5 fan control key (code 0xae) needs to communicate
with the asus-wmi driver to toggle between fan modes, but this was not
previously handled.
Changes:
- Filter out spurious HID codes (0xea, 0xec, 0x02, 0x8a, 0x9e) for
QUIRK_ROG_NKEY_KEYBOARD devices to prevent kernel log spam
- Add asus_wmi_send_event() function to communicate with asus-wmi driver
- Implement Fn+F5 (0xae) fan control key handler that triggers WMI events
- Replace magic number 0xff310000 with HID_UP_ASUSVENDOR constant for
better code clarity
This eliminates unnecessary kernel warnings and enables proper fan control
functionality on affected Asus ROG laptops.
Tested on Asus ROG G14/G15 series laptops.
