Subject: [PATCH v3 0/3] platform/x86: fix fn-lock on ASUS ProArt P16 (WMI DEVS no-op)
Date: Thu, 7 May 2026 11:29:08 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260507092911.8855-1-marcus@grenangen.se> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <9b568ce0-93f7-4a7f-98e4-625e910f8a1d@linux.dev>
Changes since v2 (addressing Denis's and Randy's review):
Patch 1 (HID: asus):
- Renamed asus_hid_fnlock_notify() to asus_hid_fnlock_set() (Denis)
- Replaced "if (ret > 0) ret = 0" with "if (ret < 0) return ret; return 0;"
pattern (Denis)
- Fixed Returns tag format to "Returns:" (Randy)
- Added #if IS_REACHABLE(CONFIG_HID_ASUS) guard for asus_hid_fnlock_set()
declaration in asus-wmi.h so asus-wmi.c can call it without a missing
prototype warning
Patch 2 (asus-nb-wmi):
- Added asus_wmi_fnlock_use_hid() export so asus-armoury can query the
quirk flag without reading the quirk struct directly, keeping DMI and
quirk knowledge inside asus-wmi (Denis)
- Fixed Returns tag format to "Returns:" (Randy)
Patch 3 (asus-armoury):
- Replaced the stored fnlock_use_hid flag and dmi_match() call with
asus_wmi_fnlock_use_hid(), routing the DMI/quirk check through asus-wmi
as Denis suggested
- Added fn_lock_registered bool to properly guard sysfs_remove_group in
both the error unwind path and __exit, mirroring the gpu_mux/mini_led
pattern (Denis)
- NOTE/Question: Since we have proper fn+esc hardware key handling working
now we could eliminate this patch completely if we don't care about
being able to control the fn state from user space
eg. asusctl and/or rog control center?
The nice thing of having it controllable via asusctl is the
scripting possibilibilities like setting prefered mode when
starting a DE as one example.
Regarding the if/else dispatch in fn_lock_current_value_store: Denis
suggested routing everything through a single asus_wmi_fnlock_set()
exported from asus-wmi. This was implemented but had to be reverted: it
introduced a module dependency cycle (hid_asus -> asus_wmi -> hid_asus)
that depmod detects and rejects. asus-armoury therefore retains the
if/else, calling asus_hid_fnlock_set() on HID-path platforms and
armoury_set_devstate() on WMI-path platforms. The asus-armoury -> hid-asus
dependency is a soft one (the stub in asus-wmi.h returns -ENODEV when
CONFIG_HID_ASUS is not reachable). But since I'm new to this maybe I'm
missing something critical here?
Marcus Grenängen (3):
HID: asus: export asus_hid_fnlock_set() for direct fn-lock control
platform/x86: asus-nb-wmi: add fnlock_use_hid quirk and asus_wmi_fnlock_use_hid()
platform/x86: asus-armoury: add fn_lock firmware attribute
