[PATCH v2 0/3] platform/x86: fix fn-lock on ASUS ProArt P16 (WMI DEVS no-op)

[Marcus Grenängen]

This is v2 of the fn-lock fix for ASUS laptops where the WMI DEVS call
for DEVID 0x00100023 is silently non-functional.

Changes since v1:
 - Split into three patches as requested: hid-asus export, nb-wmi quirk,
   asus-armoury attribute (the NULL-ptr fix for brightness_set is folded
   into patch 1 where the second listener type is introduced)
 - Moved the sysfs attribute to asus-armoury's firmware-attributes
   interface (fn_lock under /sys/class/firmware-attributes/asus-armoury/)
   instead of asus-wmi, as suggested
 - asus-armoury now calls asus_hid_fnlock_notify() directly rather than
   routing through asus-wmi; this avoids touching asus-wmi.c entirely
 - Dropped the asus_hid_listener::fnlock_set callback and the
   asus_hid_set_fnlock() / asus_hid_has_fnlock_listener() machinery from
   asus-wmi.c — the direct export from hid-asus is simpler and avoids
   the module init ordering issue described below

Regarding Denis's question about auto-detection: unfortunately it is not
feasible. On the ProArt P16, DSTS reports DEVID 0x00100023 as present
(ASUS_WMI_DSTS_PRESENCE_BIT set), so the existing WMI probe path finds
it. There is no distinguishing bit in the DSTS result between "WMI works"
and "WMI is silently a no-op". Attempting a test write at probe time would
be unreliable (no readback available on HID-path platforms — the fn_lock
show function intentionally returns -EOPNOTSUPP). A DMI quirk is the
cleanest approach.

Note on module init ordering: asus-armoury and asus-nb-wmi are both
compiled as loadable modules at the same init level. When asus-armoury
initialises it cannot safely dereference asus_ref.asus (set by asus-wmi)
to read the quirk flags, because asus-nb-wmi may not have probed yet.
asus-armoury therefore uses dmi_match() directly rather than an exported
accessor through asus-wmi.

Tested on ASUS ProArt P16 (H7606WI, N-Key keyboard 0B05:19B6):
 - fn_lock attribute appears under firmware-attributes/asus-armoury/
 - Writing 0/1 to current_value correctly toggles fn-lock state via HID
 - asusctl fn-lock -s true/false works end-to-end via asusd

[PATCH v2 1/3] HID: asus: export asus_hid_fnlock_notify() for direct fn-lock control

[Marcus Grenängen]

Some ASUS platforms cannot control fn-lock via WMI DEVS and must send a
HID feature report directly to the N-Key keyboard device instead.

Add a module-level fnlock_hdev pointer (protected by a mutex) that is set
at probe time for devices with QUIRK_HID_FN_LOCK and cleared at remove.
Export asus_hid_fnlock_notify(bool) so that asus-armoury can call into
hid-asus without a circular dependency.

Generally I see _notify naming being used for internal kernel
messaging or to notify the sysfs of a change, can you change
the name of this to something like asus_hid_fnlock_enable()
or asys_hid_fnlock_set()?

The pattern I see most ofter used is

ret = operation()
if (ret < 0)
   return ret;

return 0;

IMHO much easier to read and doesn't need a comment to explain.

[PATCH v3 0/3] platform/x86: fix fn-lock on ASUS ProArt P16 (WMI DEVS no-op)

[Marcus Grenängen]

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?

[PATCH v3 2/3] platform/x86: asus-nb-wmi: add fnlock_use_hid quirk and asus_wmi_fnlock_use_hid()

[Marcus Grenängen]

The ASUS ProArt P16 (N-Key keyboard 0B05:19B6) advertises the WMI fn-lock
DEVID (0x00100023) as present via DSTS, but the DEVS call has no effect.
Fn-lock must instead be toggled via a HID feature report sent to the N-Key
keyboard (handled by hid-asus).

Add a fnlock_use_hid flag to struct quirk_entry and set it for the ProArt
P16 via a DMI match on DMI_PRODUCT_FAMILY.

Export asus_wmi_fnlock_use_hid() so that asus-armoury can query whether
the HID path is required without reading the quirk struct directly. This
keeps the DMI and quirk knowledge inside asus-wmi.

[PATCH v3 3/3] platform/x86: asus-armoury: add fn_lock firmware attribute

[Marcus Grenängen]

Add a fn_lock attribute to the asus-armoury firmware-attributes interface,
allowing userspace to read and set the Fn-lock state (whether F1-F12 keys
are primary or media/system keys are primary).

On most ASUS laptops fn-lock is backed by WMI DEVID 0x00100023. On
platforms where that DEVS call is a no-op (fnlock_use_hid quirk), the
store path dispatches via asus_wmi_fnlock_set(), which selects the HID
feature-report path internally. The show path returns -EOPNOTSUPP on
such platforms as the hardware provides no readback.

The attribute is only registered when the platform actually supports
fn-lock, either via the HID quirk (asus_wmi_fnlock_use_hid()) or a
functional WMI DEVID (armoury_has_devstate(ASUS_WMI_DEVID_FNLOCK)).
Registration state is tracked in fn_lock_registered so that removal
in the exit path is symmetric.

[PATCH v2 2/3] platform/x86: asus-nb-wmi: add fnlock_use_hid quirk for ProArt P16

[Marcus Grenängen]

The ASUS ProArt P16 (N-Key keyboard 0B05:19B6) advertises the WMI fn-lock
DEVID (0x00100023) as present via DSTS, but the DEVS call has no effect.
Fn-lock must instead be toggled via a HID feature report sent to the N-Key
keyboard (handled by hid-asus).

Add a fnlock_use_hid flag to struct quirk_entry and set it for the ProArt
P16 via a DMI match on DMI_PRODUCT_FAMILY. This flag is consumed by
asus-armoury to select the HID path instead of WMI DEVS.

[PATCH v2 3/3] platform/x86: asus-armoury: add fn_lock firmware attribute

[Marcus Grenängen]

Add a fn_lock attribute to the asus-armoury firmware-attributes interface,
allowing userspace to read and set the Fn-lock state (whether F1-F12 keys
are primary or media/system keys are primary).

On most ASUS laptops fn-lock is backed by WMI DEVID 0x00100023 and the
attribute uses armoury_get/set_devstate() as normal. On platforms where
the WMI DEVS call is a no-op (fnlock_use_hid quirk, e.g. ProArt P16), the
store path calls asus_hid_fnlock_notify() to send the feature report
directly to the N-Key keyboard via hid-asus. The show path returns
-EOPNOTSUPP on such platforms as the hardware provides no readback.

The fnlock_use_hid flag is detected at init time via dmi_match() on
DMI_PRODUCT_FAMILY. A direct DMI check is used rather than reading the
asus-nb-wmi quirk flag because asus-armoury and asus-nb-wmi are both
loadable modules at the same init level, so the asus_ref pointer set by
asus-wmi may not yet be valid when asus-armoury initialises.

Doing this would introduce a dependency from asus-armoury to hid-asus,
let's not do that.

Instead only show this attribute if it's actually doing something,
you can check it from asus-wmi: asus-armoury already depends on it.

Edit: you are actually already registering this only if fnlock_use_hid is
true, so the else looks dead code to me.

I think there is something not right here.

Perhaps you can reuse something from asus-wmi instead of re-doing the dmi_match again
in this driver.

Not guarded the same way as the sysfs_create_group therefore will trigger
on hardware that doesn't need this.
