[PATCH v3 3/3] platform/x86: asus-armoury: add fn_lock firmware attribute
From: Marcus Grenängen
Date: Thu May 07 2026 - 05:36:07 EST
Add a fn_lock attribute to the asus-armoury firmware-attributes interface,
allowing userspace to read and set the Fn-lock state (whether F1-F12 keys
are primary or media/system keys are primary).
On most ASUS laptops fn-lock is backed by WMI DEVID 0x00100023. On
platforms where that DEVS call is a no-op (fnlock_use_hid quirk), the
store path dispatches via asus_wmi_fnlock_set(), which selects the HID
feature-report path internally. The show path returns -EOPNOTSUPP on
such platforms as the hardware provides no readback.
The attribute is only registered when the platform actually supports
fn-lock, either via the HID quirk (asus_wmi_fnlock_use_hid()) or a
functional WMI DEVID (armoury_has_devstate(ASUS_WMI_DEVID_FNLOCK)).
Registration state is tracked in fn_lock_registered so that removal
in the exit path is symmetric.
