[PATCH 0/3] platform/x86: asus-wmi: move keyboard control firmware attributes

[PATCH 0/3] platform/x86: asus-wmi: move keyboard control firmware attributes

[Denis Benato]

Hi all,

I was recently reading through the asusctl issue tracker and I found
out that some users have been having troubles with the keyboard RGB control
that was working before since the creation of asus-armoury and subequent
deprecation of old sysfs attributes.

This patch series aims to re-introduce those attributes in asus-armoury
so that userspace tools can still control keyboard RGB lighting
without having to rely on deprecated asus-wmi attributes.

In addition to that, since disabling OOBE is essential for controlling
LEDs on some models and it was incorrectly tied to deprecated attributes,
this patch series also fixes sending OOBE at probe time.

[PATCH 1/3] platform/x86: asus-wmi: explicitly mark more code with CONFIG_ASUS_WMI_DEPRECATED_ATTRS

[Denis Benato]

Be more explicit in code that will be excluded when compiling
with CONFIG_ASUS_WMI_DEPRECATED_ATTRS disabled.

Does this result in build fails or warnings? If that's the case, it should 
be mentioned in the changelog + Fixes tag added.

Hi,

Sadly no, despite a property in a struct instantiated only once
being forcefully set to false no warning is emitted by neither
clang nor gcc :(

Ah, I was mainly expecting unused function warning but apparently since it 
was still being "used" it obviously won't trigger that warning.

Plus if gcc/clang could have catched it build bots would have done so
when posting the asus-armoury series as they catched other things.

[PATCH 2/3] platform/x86: asus-wmi: fix sending OOBE at probe

[Denis Benato]

Disabling oobe is an important step to be able to fully control
the hardware in TUF laptops that supports this feature,
but the command has been incorrectly tied to deprecated
attributes: restore sending the OOBE exit command.

Please reflow to 72 chars.

Fixes tag seems to be missing.

[PATCH 3/3] platform/x86: asus-armoury: add keyboard control firmware attributes

[Denis Benato]

Implement keyboard status attributes in asus-armoury after
deprecating those attribute(s) in asus-wmi to avoid losing
the ability to control LEDs status.

This is an undesired syntax explicitly documented as one to avoid. You
need here proper assignment, not NULL. Please don't use cleanup.h if you
do not intend to follow it because it does not make the code simpler.

This does not look like useful printk message. Drivers should be silent
on success:

Hello and thank you for your feedback!

I have used __free here to match a previous comment from Ilpo:
https://lore.kernel.org/all/25bd0c90-2de0-ef66-c18d-661180b71fd4@linux.intel.com/
and I figured that since this is the same exact pattern as that it would have made
sense to use it.

May I ask you to elaborate further please? If there is a more effective way to take
advantage of cleanup.h I will very much consider it.

I will remove the detected keyboard and make the pr_err a pr_info,
is this okay?

Just read the doc before using it. It is very, very clear what is the
recommended syntax,

The documentation is in include/linux/cleanup.h itself (search for "NULL" 
to find the relevant part towards the end of the long comment).

And please still use __free(), we just want to avoid using its 
anti-patterns.

Add the fields with define + GENMASK()

Name the bits within the fields with defines.

Use FIELD_PREP() here instead of open-coding the shifting.

Hmm (returning to add text after reading all the way to the bottom of 
the patch), you seem to already have defines for these but are using 
literals here??

Didn't you just alloc this with kzalloc()???

This looks like a logic bug, as IS_ERR() implies != 0.

Is it fine to make these calls if one of the sysfs_create_group() failed?

> +	}

Why you do this in this order? In general, the teardown order should be a 
reverse of the order on the init side.

Would this be more logical ordering:

* flags | BIT(1) << 8 | 0xBD

?

(With the current ordering, I assumed BD is the most highest bits due to 
the way we write numbers).

Spaces around <<

Add flags field define & use FIELD_PREP() as already mentioned with the 
relevant code.

And please use these in the code too. :-)
