Subject: [RFC PATCH 2/3] platform: lenovo: add WMI hotkeys driver
Date: Fri, 13 Nov 2026 14:27:54 -0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20261113222755.1696567-3-dcemin@nvidia.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20261113222755.1696567-1-dcemin@nvidia.com>
Lenovo consumer laptops deliver their vendor specific Fn keys (microphone
mute, airplane mode, performance mode, the Smart Key and Smart Connect
keys) as WMI events on GUID 8FC0DE0C-B4E4-43FD-B0F3-8871711C1294 instead
of keyboard usages. On x86, ideapad-laptop consumes these events, but it
depends on i8042 and on the IdeaPad VPC ACPI device, neither of which
exist on the ACPI based arm64 models. Add a small WMI driver that reports
the same key codes through a sparse keymap, so desktops see the generic
input events.
The key map follows ideapad-laptop. One code seen on the Yoga 9 2-in-1
16 (arm64) is new: 0x48 for the Smart Connect key.
Both drivers match the same GUID. The probe declines when the IdeaPad
VPC device (VPC2004) is present, so machines handled by ideapad-laptop,
including its Fn lock LED and DYTC performance mode handling, keep that
driver.
