[PATCH 4/4] platform/x86: wmi: Add device specific documentation

[Armin Wolf]

Add a place for device-specific documentation of WMI drivers.
The first entry is documentation for the wmi-bmof driver, with
additional documentation being expected to follow.

+WMI embedded Binary MOF driver
+==============================
+
+Introduction
+============
+
+Many machines embed WMI Binary MOF metadata used to describe the details of their ACPI WMI interfaces.
+The data can be decoded with tools like `bmfdec <https://github.com/pali/bmfdec>`_ to obtain a
+human readable WMI interface description, which is useful for developing new WMI drivers.
+
+The Binary MOF data can be retrieved from the ``bmof`` sysfs attribute of the associated WMI device.
+Please note that multiple WMI devices containing Binary MOF data can exist on a given system.
+
+WMI interface
+=============
+
+The Binary MOF WMI device is identified by the WMI GUID ``05901221-D566-11D1-B2F0-00A0C9062910``.
+The Binary MOF can be obtained by doing a WMI data block query. The result is then returned as
+an ACPI buffer with a variable size.
