Subject: [PATCH v15 0/6] Merge redmi-wmi into bitland-mifs-wmi
Date: Wed, 28 Oct 2026 11:27:36 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20261028112742.674847-1-qby140326@gmail.com> (raw)
This patch series consolidates the standalone 'redmi-wmi' driver into the
'bitland-mifs-wmi' driver to eliminate code duplication and centralize
the maintenance of overlapping ACPI WMI event streams.
Bitland is the ODM manufacturer for various Xiaomi Redmibook models. Both
platforms share the exact same keyboard event stream WMI GUID
(46C93E13-EE9B-4262-8488-563BCA757FEF). While redmi-wmi previously parsed
the 4-byte payload as a bulk u32 scancode, bitland-mifs-wmi deconstructed
it into discrete type/id/value fields.
Redmi operations were not contained in this patch series, future reverse
engineering is required.
This series introduce a newly reported mic-mute hotkey definition
for Redmibooks, dropped the previous redmi-wmi driver and intrudoced
the quirks table for the bitland-mifs-wmi driver.
I don't have a Redmi or other Bitland device. So I cannot work on the
real device.
Features are working properly on my device (Lecoo Bellator N176).
I leave the future reverse engineering work to the community.
Tests are welcome.
And by the way, the no_set member in bitland_profile_entry means a
platform profile is only report by the firmware but not available for
set.

From Chris' comment:

> not 0x16. The firmware does not change the mode by itself: the

I think different models have different behaviors on this.
Should we add a quirk item?
v15:
Fix the build issue reported by kernel-test-bot
https://lore.kernel.org/oe-kbuild-all/202610270608.l51GVbZ8-lkp@intel.com/
v14:
Drop the accept_zero_function quirk based on Chris' comment
https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/CAAcRvKPSk5FYzZGkw12cPVGkxWVGFACwRvupBDDNae7B_JwF0A@mail.gmail.com/
v13:
Fix the zero function value problem find on my device
Fix the memcpy size issue
Remove WMI_EVENT_PERFORMANCE_PLAN_ALT in the keymap
Select BITLAND_MIFS_WMI and deprecate REDMI_WMI instead remove the
config entry
v12:
Fix the issues mentioned in https://lore.kernel.org/all/20261008152647.1510152-1-uselessfire@gmail.com/ .
Copy payload_data to output->data at bitland_mifs_wmi_call, not
overwrite the entire struct.
Correct the key name (Mic Mute) in the commit message of
"platform/x86: bitland-mifs-wmi: Add Redmi mic-mute key entries"
and my device doesn't have a FN-ESC key, so I renamed the enum variant to
WMI_EVENT_MIC_MUTE.
v11:
Add missing return_code_at_end and accept_zero_function logic
Fallback to balanced platform profile if resume to performance failed
v10:
Replace the previous "profile table" with dmi quirk table
v9:
Add the missing feature introduced in the commit
e0d6312578e1 ("platform/x86: redmi-wmi: report EC state change events").
v8:
Correct Ilya Gladyshev's email address in the MAINTAINERS entry
v7:
Swap low bit and high bit for WMI_EVENT_KBD_BRIGHTNESS
in bitland_mifs_wmi_keymap
0x00800501 -> BI_HOTKEY_CODE(WMI_EVENT_KBD_BRIGHTNESS, 0x80, 0),
Report KEY_FN_ESC when WMI_EVENT_FNLOCK_STATE events received
Rename the reserved names
Use Xmas tree order in bitland_mifs_wmi_notify
Collect the Tested-by and Reviewed-by tags
v6:
Drop the wrong Redmi ops
v5:
Correct Xiaomi DMI vendor name
v4:
Map PLATFORM_PROFILE_PERFORMANCE to wmi performance mode if the device
doesn't support full-speed mode.
