The ACPI-WMI interface is a proprietary extension of ACPI allowing the platform firmware to expose WMI (Windows Management Instrumentation) objects used for managing various aspects of the underlying system. Mapping between ACPI control methods and WMI objects happens through special mapper devices (PNP0C14) defined inside the ACPI tables. Enabling this option is necessary for building the vendor specific ACPI-WMI client drivers for Acer, Dell an HP machines (among others). It is safe to enable this option even for machines that do not contain any ACPI-WMI mapper devices at all. if ACPI_WMI config ACPI_WMI_LEGACY_DEVICE_NAMES bool "Use legacy WMI device naming scheme" help Say Y here to force the WMI driver core to use the old WMI device naming scheme when creating WMI devices. Doing so might be necessary for some userspace applications but will cause the registration of WMI devices with the same GUID to fail in some corner cases. source "drivers/platform/wmi/tests/Kconfig" config WMI_BMOF tristate "WMI embedded Binary MOF driver" default ACPI_WMI help Say Y here if you want to be able to read the firmware-embedded WMI Binary MOF (Managed Object Format) data. Using this requires userspace tools, see Documentation/wmi/devices/wmi-bmof.rst for details. To compile this driver as a module, choose M here: the module will be called wmi-bmof. endif # ACPI_WMI
