Subject: [PATCH 0/3] platform/x86: asus-armoury: Add dgpu_power_state and check in dgpu_disable
Date: Wed, 5 Aug 2026 20:28:05 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260805183131.3075-1-scardracs@disroot.org> (raw)
This patch series adds support for WMI device ID 0x00120097
(ASUS_WMI_DEVID_DGPU_POWER_STATE) to query the power state level of the
discrete GPU (dGPU) on ASUS ROG laptops, and uses it to prevent disabling
the dGPU while it is in active use.
--- Background & How it Works ---
Modern ASUS ROG firmware provides WMI device ID 0x00120097 in the ACPI DSTS
evaluation method:
If ((IIA0 == 0x00120097))
{
Return (0x00010000)
}
When queried, DSTS returns:
- Bit 16 (0x00010000): Presence bit (set when supported by ACPI).
- Bit 0 (0x00000001): Power state status:
* 0: D3 cold (off / suspended)
* 1: D0 (active / powered on)
--- Patch Series Summary ---
- Patch 1/3: Defines ASUS_WMI_DEVID_DGPU_POWER_STATE (0x00120097) in
include/linux/platform_data/x86/asus-wmi.h.
- Patch 2/3: Registers the read-only sysfs attribute 'dgpu_power_state' in
drivers/platform/x86/asus-armoury.c under firmware_attributes class.
- Patch 3/3: Consolidates dgpu_disable checks under a single 'if (disable)'
block and returns -EBUSY if an attempt is made to disable the dGPU while active.
--- Testing ---
Verified on ASUS ROG G614PR hardware:
- Reading 'current_value' returns 0 when the dGPU is suspended in D3 cold,
and 1 when active in D0.
- Attempting to disable the dGPU while in use returns -EBUSY.
