Subject: [PATCH v2 2/2] platform/x86: asus-wmi: add TUF keyboard RGB readback support
Date: Sat, 26 Sep 2026 03:56:25 +0300	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260926005625.171560-3-bartualev@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260926005625.171560-1-bartualev@gmail.com>

TUF Gaming laptops expose kbd_rgb_mode and kbd_rgb_state as write-only
attributes (DEVICE_ATTR_WO), preventing userspace from querying the
active hardware configuration.

Add readback support by querying ASUS_WMI_DEVID_TUF_RGB_READBACK
(0x0010005B) via the WMI DSTS method. On supported platforms this
evaluates the DSDT method EC0.KBLS(), which returns a 16-byte buffer
containing the active lighting mode, RGB color channels, effect speed
and power-state flags.

Introduce kbd_rgb_read_status() to evaluate and validate the buffer,
and convert both attributes to DEVICE_ATTR_RW. Map the hardware speed
codes (0xe1, 0xeb, 0xf5) to their sysfs indices (0, 1, 2).

The command field is not part of the status buffer: "immediate vs
save-to-flash" is a property of the write verb (0xb3/0xb4), not of
readable state, and the EC mirror is updated identically by both.
Readback therefore emits a synthetic leading '1' - the canonical
input form userspace writes - so that output matches input.
