ASUS WMI and related platform drivers currently reside under
drivers/platform/x86/. However, with ARM64 devices utilizing ACPI WMI
interfaces, maintaining these drivers exclusively under x86 creates
unnecessary architectural restrictions and Kconfig duplications.
To allow ARM64 architectures to build and utilize ASUS WMI drivers
cleanly:
1. Relocate all ASUS WMI-based drivers and headers from
drivers/platform/x86/ to drivers/platform/wmi/asus/.
2. Create dedicated Kconfig and Makefile under
drivers/platform/wmi/asus/ and source them in
drivers/platform/wmi/Kconfig and Makefile.
3. Update drivers/platform/x86/Kconfig to remove duplicated entries
and source the unified WMI-based ASUS configuration.
No functional code logic changes are introduced in this patch; this is
a pure code relocation and build infrastructure refactoring.

Changes in v3:
- Refined the file relocation scope to target ONLY pure WMI-based
platform drivers (asus-wmi, asus-nb-wmi, and asus-armoury).
- Retained non-WMI x86 platform drivers (such as asus-laptop,
asus-wireless, and asus-tf103c-dock) under drivers/platform/x86/.
- Updated drivers/platform/wmi/asus/Kconfig and Makefile to only build
and export the relocated WMI components.
- Dropped patch 1/2 from the original series as CONFIG_ACPI_WMI
dependency updates are handled by Armin's WMI refactoring series.
Changes in v2:
- Relocated ASUS platform drivers from drivers/platform/x86/ to
drivers/platform/wmi/asus/ to eliminate Kconfig duplication and
architectural restrictions for ARM64 platforms.
- Updated MAINTAINERS file to reflect the new path.

Hi,
i am two minds about moving the Asus WMI drivers to drivers/platform/wmi/asus,
because in my mind drivers/platform/wmi contains only code necessary for providing
access to ACPI-WMI objects. AFAIK the Asus WMI drivers are client drivers using the
WMI APIs to access WMI objects, not host drivers providing WMI objects.
Maybe moving the drivers to drivers/platform/asus would be better?
Thanks,
Armin Wolf

Hi Armin, Hans, and all,
Thank you for the feedback, Armin!
I completely agree that separating WMI core infrastructure from WMI client
drivers makes logical sense. The reason v3 relocated the drivers to
drivers/platform/wmi/asus/ was based on Hans's earlier suggestion to use the
WMI subsystem hierarchy. However, Armin's point about keeping client drivers in
a brand-specific directory like drivers/platform/asus/ also provides a very
clean, cross-architecture solution for all ASUS platform drivers.
Regarding the background: yes, the RTX Spark is indeed our target platform.
ASUS plans to provide user-space applications on Ubuntu to control platform
features via the WMI interface. During our bring-up on ARM64, we found that no
ASUS WMI modules were currently available for this architecture due to the
existing x86 Kconfig restriction. This patch series aims to enable
cross-architecture WMI support to address this gap.
I am happy to go with either path (wmi/asus/ vs. platform/asus/). Hans, Armin,
what would be the preferred target directory before I prepare [PATCH v4]?
Best regards,
Chipang Kao

If I understand things correctly then Armin prefers drivers/platform/asus
that is completely fine with me, so lets go with drivers/platform/asus .
Having that will also be useful to share any platform specific drivers
which directly use ACPI calls rather then WMI.
E.g. I can see a drivers/platform/lenovo show up to use thinkpad_acpi
on ThinkPad ARM64 laptops.
Regards,
Hans

Hi Hans,
Yeah it's my understanding that drivers/platform/asus is the only path
that so far nobody has stated any reason to exclude so I agree on moving
asus-related stuff there.

So my intuition about RTX Spark having those was spot on...
Very good to know. Once those drivers are compiled for arm64
we should be able to reuse the whole asusctl software to get
the driver control every hardware that is there.

Thanks for taking care of this move: it was planned but with no
product in my hands I decided to postpone this.

Hi Armin, Hans, and all,
I tried moving the ASUS-related platform drivers from
drivers/platform/x86 to a dedicated drivers/platform/asus/
directory. Most drivers compile successfully after this
restructuring, except for asus-armoury.c, which depends on
firmware_attributes_class currently defined in
drivers/platform/x86/firmware_attributes_class.c.
I found that Sean Rhodes has submitted a similar change to
move the firmware attributes class:
https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/ar0DNFlI7MEA8zp2@tzungbi-laptop/
The patch has been applied to the Chrome Platform tree's
for-firmware-next branch, but I haven't found a corresponding
pull request to Linus' tree.
Is this change expected to be sent to mainline for an
upcoming merge window?
Best regards,
Chipang Kao

As per the the usual process, PRs for branches containing new
features/refactors are only made during merge window (i.e., around now).

It is now in Linus' tree.
I'll try to get platform drivers PR done today as well.

ASUS WMI and related platform drivers currently reside under
drivers/platform/x86/. However, with the emergence of ARM64 devices
utilizing ACPI WMI interfaces, maintaining these drivers exclusively
under x86 creates unnecessary architectural restrictions and Kconfig
duplications.
To allow non-x86 architectures (such as ARM64) to select and build
the applicable ASUS platform drivers:
1. Relocate all ASUS platform drivers and headers from
drivers/platform/x86/ to drivers/platform/asus/.
2. Create dedicated Kconfig and Makefile under drivers/platform/asus/.
3. Update drivers/platform/x86/Kconfig to remove duplicated entries.
Signed-off-by: chipang_kao <chipang_kao@asus.com>
---
Changes in v4:
- Move all ASUS platform drivers and headers from
drivers/platform/x86/ to drivers/platform/asus/.
- Add a dedicated Kconfig and Makefile under drivers/platform/asus/.
- Keep x86-specific drivers under the X86_PLATFORM_DEVICES
dependency.
- Move ASUS_WMI, ASUS_NB_WMI, and ASUS_ARMOURY outside the
X86_PLATFORM_DEVICES dependency to allow them to be selected on
non-x86 architectures such as ARM64.
- Update drivers/platform/Kconfig, drivers/platform/Makefile, and
MAINTAINERS for the new location.

Hi,
Thanks but please use your real name to sign off the patches. I'm quite
sure you don't sign any contracts, etc. with an underscore in your
name. ;-)
Basically, use the name you'd use to sign contract, etc. for Signed-off-by
tags too. Also non-ascii characters are perfectly fine if you prefer using
them for signing off as long as the email encoding is properly set so the
tools can reproduce the name correctly.
To understand what signing off a patch means, check
Documentation/process/submitting-patches.rst .
It would also be preferrable for From and Signed-off-by identities match,
if you want to have the patch discussions into some other address besides
the one used in SoB, you can always use Cc tag for those addresses.
If you're sending from a different address than SoB uses, you can add
extra From: into the start of the body so the tools will pick that from
there instead of the email's From.

* [PATCH v5] platform/asus: Move ASUS platform drivers out of drivers/platform/x86

ASUS WMI and related platform drivers currently reside under
drivers/platform/x86/. However, with the emergence of ARM64 devices
utilizing ACPI WMI interfaces, maintaining these drivers exclusively
under x86 creates unnecessary architectural restrictions and Kconfig
duplications.
To allow non-x86 architectures (such as ARM64) to select and build
the applicable ASUS platform drivers:
1. Relocate all ASUS platform drivers and headers from
drivers/platform/x86/ to drivers/platform/asus/.
2. Create dedicated Kconfig and Makefile under drivers/platform/asus/.
3. Update drivers/platform/x86/Kconfig to remove duplicated entries.

From: Chipang Kao <chipang_kao@asus.com>
ASUS WMI and related platform drivers currently reside under
drivers/platform/x86/. However, with the emergence of ARM64 devices
utilizing ACPI WMI interfaces, maintaining these drivers exclusively
under x86 creates unnecessary architectural restrictions and Kconfig
duplications.
To allow non-x86 architectures (such as ARM64) to select and build
the applicable ASUS platform drivers:
1. Relocate all ASUS platform drivers and headers from
drivers/platform/x86/ to drivers/platform/asus/.
2. Create dedicated Kconfig and Makefile under drivers/platform/asus/.
3. Update drivers/platform/x86/Kconfig to remove duplicated entries.

Thank you for your contribution, it has been applied to my local
review-ilpo-next branch. Note it will show up in the public
platform-drivers-x86/review-ilpo-next branch only once I've pushed my
local branch there, which might take a while.
FYI [if applicable to your patch], as per Linus' policy change, also
fixes are mostly routed through for-next unless the fix is for a
commit introduced in the most recent cycle or is clearly a regression
fix.

Thanks for spotting. I've now put the tag there.
Chipang,
Generally the Reviewed-by and Tested-by tags should be collected from
previous version(s) when preparing to send a new version as maintainer
tools only automatically pick them from the current version thread
(err'ing to the side caution).
Only if you make really major changes, it might be warranted to drop tags
but those cases are truly rare.
