The whitelist-based approach for preventing older WMI drivers from
being instantiated multiple times has many drawbacks:
- uses cannot see all available WMI devices (if not whitelisted)
- whitelisting a WMI driver requires changes in the WMI driver core
- maintenance burden for driver and subsystem developers
Since the WMI driver core already takes care that older WMI drivers
are not being instantiated multiple times, remove the now redundant
whitelist.

Many older WMI drivers cannot be instantiated multiple times for
two reasons:
- they are using the legacy GUID-based WMI API
- they are singletons (with global state)
Prevent such WMI drivers from binding to WMI devices with a duplicated
GUID, as this would mean that the WMI driver will be instantiated at
least two times (one for the original GUID and one for the duplicated
GUID).
WMI drivers which can be instantiated multiple times can signal this
by setting a flag inside struct wmi_driver.

When matching a WMI device to a GUID used by the legacy GUID-based
API, devices with a duplicated GUID should be ignored.
Add an additional WMI device flag signaling that the GUID used by
the WMI device is also used by another WMI device. Ignore such
devices inside the match functions used by the legacy GUID-based API.

Currently, the driver has two behaviors to deal with new & unsupported
performance blocks reported by the firmware:
1. For register and unknown block types, the driver will fail to load
with the following error message:
[ 4510.956369] mlxbf-pmc: probe of MLNXBFD2:00 failed with error -22
2. For counter and crspace blocks, the driver will load and sysfs files
will be created but getting the contents of event_list or trying to
setup the counter will fail
Instead, let's ignore and log unsupported blocks. This means the driver
will always load and unsupported blocks will never show up in sysfs.

The ACPI WMI specification states:
"The _WED control method is evaluated by the mapper in
response to receiving a notification from a control
method."
This means that _WED should be evaluated unconditionally even
if no WMI event consumers are present.
Some firmware implementations actually depend on this behavior
by storing the event data inside a queue which will fill up if
the WMI core stops retrieving event data items due to no
consumers being present
Fix this by always evaluating _WED even if no WMI event consumers
are present.

If a WMI event driver has no_notify_data set, then it indicates
support for WMI events which provide no notify data, otherwise
the notify() callback expects a valid ACPI object as notify data.
However if a WMI event driver which requires notify data is bound
to a WMI event device which cannot retrieve such data due to the
_WED ACPI method being absent, then the driver will be dysfunctional
since all WMI events will be dropped due to the missing notify data.
Fix this by not allowing such WMI event drivers to bind to WMI event
devices which do not support retrieving of notify data. Also reword
the description of no_notify_data a bit.

This patch adds battery charge control support on Fujitsu notebooks
via the S006 method of the FUJ02E3 ACPI device. With this method it's
possible to set charge_control_end_threshold between 50 and 100%.
Tested on Lifebook E5411 and Lifebook U728. Sadly I can't test this
patch on a dual battery one, but I didn't find any clue about
independent battery charge control on dual battery Fujitsu notebooks
either. And by that I mean checking the DSDT table of various Lifebook
notebooks and reverse engineering FUJ02E3.dll.

The ACPI-WMI specification declares in the section "ACPI Control Method
Naming Conventions and Functionality for Windows 2000 Instrumentation"
that a WMxx control method takes 3 arguments: instance, method id and
argument buffer. This is also the case even when the underlying WMI
method does not have any input arguments.
So if a WMI driver evaluates a WMI method without passing an input
buffer, ACPICA will log a warning complaining that the third argument
is missing.
Prevent this by checking that a input buffer was passed, and return
an error if this was not the case.

Merge tag 'platform-drivers-x86-v6.8-2' fixes into pdf86/for-next
because of WMI fixes. The WMI changes done in for-next already created
a minor conflict with the fixes and WMI is actively being improved
currently so besides resolving the current conflict, this is also to
avoid further conflicts.
Add 8BAD to the list of boards which have thermal profile selection
available. This allows the CPU to draw more power than the default TDP
barrier defined by the 'balanced' thermal profile (around 50W), hence
allowing it to perform better without being throttled by the embedded
controller (around 130W).
We first need to set the HP_OMEN_EC_THERMAL_PROFILE_TIMER_OFFSET to zero.
This prevents the timer countdown from reaching zero, making the embedded
controller "force-switch" the system's thermal profile back to 'balanced'
automatically.
We also need to put a number of specific flags in
HP_OMEN_EC_THERMAL_PROFILE_FLAGS_OFFSET when we're switching to another
thermal profile:
- for 'performance', we need to set both HP_OMEN_EC_FLAGS_TURBO and
HP_OMEN_EC_FLAGS_NOTIMER;
- for 'balanced' and 'powersave', we clear out the register to notify
the system that we want to lower the TDP barrier as soon as possible.
The third flag defined in the hp_thermal_profile_omen_flags enum,
HP_OMEN_EC_FLAGS_JUSTSET, is present for completeness.
To prevent potential behaviour breakage with other Omen models, a
separate omen_timed_thermal_profile_boards array has been added to list
which boards expose this behaviour.
Performance benchmarking was done with the help of silver.urih.com and
Google Chrome 120.0.6099.129, on Gnome 45.2, with the 'performance'
thermal profile set:
| | Performance | Stress | TDP |
|------------------|-------------|------------|-------|
| with my patch | P84549 | S0.1891 | 131W |
| without my patch | P44084 | S0.1359 | 47W |
The TDP measurements were done with the help of the s-tui utility,
during the load.
There is still work to be done:
- tune the CPU and GPU fans to better cool down and enhance
performance at the right time; right now, it seems that the fans are
not properly reacting to thermal/performance events, which in turn
either causes thermal throttling OR makes the fans spin way too long,
even though the temperatures have lowered down
- expose the CPU and GPU fan curves to user-land so that they can be
controlled just like what the Omen Gaming Hub utility proposes to
its users;

This commit performs four things:
- fix up the GUID string inconsistency (lower case 'e') from the
WMI module alias declaration/macro definition
- separate GUID macros from the embedded controller offset macros
- rename the description of the module to better represent what it
actually achieves as a whole
- add a space right before the '*' pointer qualifier to match the
other array declarations
This also prepares the terrain for integrating support work for boards
identified as '8BAD', which corresponds to HP's Omen 17 ck2xxx models.

When an ACPI netlink event is received by acpid, the ACPI device
class is passed as its first argument. But since the class string
is not initialized during probe, an empty string is being passed:
netlink: PNP0C14:01 000000d0 00000000

The activation for Scan at Field (SAF) includes a parameter to make
microcode wait for both threads to join. It's preferable to perform an
entry rendezvous before the activation to ensure that they start the
`wrmsr` close enough to each other. In some cases it has been observed
that one of the threads might be just a bit late to arrive. An entry
rendezvous reduces the likelihood of these cases occurring.
Add an entry rendezvous to ensure the activation on both threads happen
close enough to each other.
