Yes, I Cc'ed platform-drivers and WMI maintainer in a hope to gather 
their opinions.

Well, I am planning to, but I can't guarantee any success at this point) 
So "no real users" is honest answer for now

But in a case if a) WMI subsystem is OK with reference drivers, and b) I 
fail to write a new driver, I will submit redmi-wmi-rs as a reference 
driver (since I can test it on my hardware).
