[PATCH v7 06/16] platform/x86: lenovo-wmi-other: Limit adding attributes to supported devices

Derek J. Clark

Adds lwmi_is_attr_01_supported, and only creates the attribute subfolder
if the attribute is supported by the hardware. Due to some poorly
implemented BIOS this is a multi-step sequence of events. This is
because:
- Some BIOS support getting the capability data from custom mode (0xff),
while others only support it in no-mode (0x00).
- Some BIOS support get/set for the current value from custom mode (0xff),
while others only support it in no-mode (0x00).
- Some BIOS report capability data for a method that is not fully
implemented.
- Some BIOS have methods fully implemented, but no complimentary
capability data.

To ensure we only expose fully implemented methods with corresponding
capability data, we check each outcome before reporting that an
attribute can be supported.

Checking for lwmi_is_attr_01_supported during remove is not done to
ensure that we don't attempt to call cd01 or send WMI events if one of
the interfaces being removed was the cause of the driver unloading.

v7:
- Move earlier in the series. This required dropping the use of
lwmi_attr_id as it will be added later.
- Add missing switch between cd_mode_id and cv_mode_id in
current_value_store.
v6:
- Zero initialize args in lwmi_is_attr_01_supported.
- Fix formatting.
v5:
- Move cv/cd_mode_id refrences from path 3/4.
- Add missing import for ARRAY_SIZE.
- Make lwmi_is_attr_01_supported return bool instead of u32.
- Various formatting fixes.
v4:
- Use for loop instead of backtrace gotos for checking if an attribute
is supported.
- Add include for dev_printk.
- Wrap dev_dbg in lwmi_is_attr_01_supported earlier.
- Don't use symmetric cleanup of attributes in error states.
