Merge tag 'platform-drivers-x86-v4.20-1' of git://git.infradead.org/linux-platform-drivers-x86
Pull x86 platform driver updates from Darren Hart: - Move the Dell dcdbas and dell_rbu drivers into platform/drivers/x86 as they are closely coupled with other drivers in this location. - Improve _init* usage for acerhdf and fix some usage issues with messages and module parameters. - Simplify asus-wmi by calling ACPI/WMI methods directly, eliminating workqueue overhead, eliminate double reporting of keyboard backlight. - Fix wake from USB failure on Bay Trail devices (intel_int0002_vgpio). - Notify intel_telemetry users when IPC1 device is not enabled. - Update various drivers with new laptop model IDs. - Update several intel drivers to use SPDX identifers and order headers alphabetically. * tag 'platform-drivers-x86-v4.20-1' of git://git.infradead.org/linux-platform-drivers-x86: (64 commits) HID: asus: only support backlight when it's not driven by WMI platform/x86: asus-wmi: export function for evaluating WMI methods platform/x86: asus-wmi: Only notify kbd LED hw_change by fn-key pressed platform/x86: wmi: declare device_type structure as constant platform/x86: ideapad: Add Y530-15ICH to no_hw_rfkill platform/x86: Add Intel AtomISP2 dummy / power-management driver platform/x86: touchscreen_dmi: Add min-x and min-y settings for various models platform/x86: touchscreen_dmi: Add info for the Onda V80 Plus v3 tablet platform/x86: touchscreen_dmi: Add info for the Trekstor Primetab T13B tablet platform/x86: intel_telemetry: Get rid of custom macro platform/x86: intel_telemetry: report debugfs failure MAINTAINERS: intel_telemetry: Update maintainers info platform/x86: Add LG Gram laptop special features driver platform/x86: asus-wmi: Simplify the keyboard brightness updating process platform/x86: touchscreen_dmi: Add info for the Trekstor Primebook C11 convertible platform/x86: mlx-platform: Properly use mlxplat_mlxcpld_msn201x_items MAINTAINERS: intel_pmc_core: Update MAINTAINERS firmware: dcdbas: include linux/io.h platform/x86: intel-wmi-thunderbolt: Add dynamic debugging platform/x86: intel-wmi-thunderbolt: Convert to use SPDX identifier ...

+LG Gram laptop extra features
+=============================
+
+By Matan Ziv-Av <matan@svgalib.org>
+
+
+Hotkeys
+-------
+
+The following FN keys are ignored by the kernel without this driver:
+- FN-F1 (LG control panel) - Generates F15
+- FN-F5 (Touchpad toggle) - Generates F13
+- FN-F6 (Airplane mode) - Generates RFKILL
+- FN-F8 (Keyboard backlight) - Generates F16.
+ This key also changes keyboard backlight mode.
+- FN-F9 (Reader mode) - Generates F14
+
+The rest of the FN key work without a need for a special driver.
+
+
+Reader mode
+-----------
+
+Writing 0/1 to /sys/devices/platform/lg-laptop/reader_mode disables/enables
+reader mode. In this mode the screen colors change (blue color reduced),
+and the reader mode indicator LED (on F9 key) turns on.
+
+
+FN Lock
+-------
+
+Writing 0/1 to /sys/devices/platform/lg-laptop/fn_lock disables/enables
+FN lock.
+
+
+Battery care limit
+------------------
+
+Writing 80/100 to /sys/devices/platform/lg-laptop/battery_care_limit
+sets the maximum capacity to charge the battery. Limiting the charge
+reduces battery capacity loss over time.
+
+This value is reset to 100 when the kernel boots.
+
+
+Fan mode
+--------
+
+Writing 1/0 to /sys/devices/platform/lg-laptop/fan_mode disables/enables
+the fan silent mode.
+
+
+USB charge
+----------
+
+Writing 0/1 to /sys/devices/platform/lg-laptop/usb_charge disables/enables
+charging another device from the USB port while the device is turned off.
+
+This value is reset to 0 when the kernel boots.
+
+
+LEDs
+~~~~
+
+The are two LED devices supported by the driver:
+
+Keyboard backlight
+------------------
+
+A led device named kbd_led controls the keyboard backlight. There are three
+lighting level: off (0), low (127) and high (255).
+
+The keyboard backlight is also controlled by the key combination FN-F8
+which cycles through those levels.
+
+
+Touchpad indicator LED
+----------------------
+
+On the F5 key. Controlled by led device names tpad_led.
