platform/x86: asus-wmi: Support WMI event queue
Event codes are expected to be retrieved from a queue on at least some models. Specifically, very likely the ACPI WMI devices with _UID ATK are queued whereas those with ASUSWMI are not [1]. The WMI event codes are pushed into a circular buffer queue. After the INIT method is called, ACPI code is allowed to push events into this buffer. The INIT method cannot be reverted. If the module is unloaded and an event (such as hotkey press) gets emitted before inserting it back the events get processed delayed by one or if the queue overflows, additionally delayed by about 3 seconds. It might be considered a minor issue and no normal user would likely observe this (there is little reason unloading the driver), but it does significantly frustrate a developer who is unlucky enough to encounter this. Therefore, the fallback to unqueued behavior occurs whenever something unexpected happens. The fix flushes the old key codes out of the queue on load. After receiving event the queue is read until either ..FFFF or 1 is encountered. Also as noted in [1] it is checked whether notify code is equal to 0xFF before enabling queue processing in WMI notify handler. DSDT examples: FX505GM Device (ATKD) { .. Name (ATKQ, Package (0x10) { 0xFFFFFFFF, .. } Method (IANQ, 1, Serialized) { If ((AQNO >= 0x10)) { Local0 = 0x64 While ((Local0 && (AQNO >= 0x10))) { Local0-- Sleep (0x0A) } ... .. AQTI++ AQTI &= 0x0F ATKQ [AQTI] = Arg0 ... } Method (GANQ, 0, Serialized) { .. If (AQNO) { ... Local0 = DerefOf (ATKQ [AQHI]) AQHI++ AQHI &= 0x0F Return (Local0) } Return (One) } This code is almost identical to K54C, which does return Ones on empty queue. K54C: Method (GANQ, 0, Serialized) { If (AQNO) { ... Return (Local0) } Return (Ones) } [1] Link: https://lkml.org/lkml/2019/4/12/104 Signed-off-by: Yurii Pavlovskyi <yurii.pavlovskyi@gmail.com> Suggested-by: Daniel Drake <drake@endlessm.com> Signed-off-by: Andy Shevchenko <andriy.shevchenko@linux.intel.com>
