[PATCH 0/5] platform/x86: bitland-mifs-wmi: MIFS v2 firmware support (Xiaomi Book Pro 14 2026)

This series makes the Bitland MIFS WMI driver work on the Xiaomi Book
Pro 14 2026 (Intel Panther Lake, Ultra 5 358H) and very likely on the
REDMI Book Pro 14 2025, whose suspend failure was reported earlier [1].

These machines ship a reduced MIFS firmware ("v2"): the WMAA method
implements only function groups 0x0800/0x0a00/0x0c00/0x1000, reports
the performance mode as raw QFAN EC codes {2,3,4,9,10} instead of the
v1 0..3 enumeration, and exposes no WMI fan function. Additionally the
firmware never defines ECON, so \_SB.PC00.LPCB.Q_EC._STA fails and the
ACPI EC driver never binds, which kills all EC query handlers
(including the lid switch notifications _Q0C/_Q0D).

Symptoms fixed by this series, all reproduced and verified on the
affected machine:

* Suspend/hibernate aborted with -EINVAL from the driver's suspend
hook (same failure as [1]: "dpm_run_callback():
bitland_mifs_wmi_suspend returns -22"; 242 failures counted in
suspend_stats). Patch 1 makes the WMI call validate the firmware
status word and the suspend/resume hooks fault-tolerant.

* power-profiles-daemon could not read or set the platform profile
("Failed to get profile for handler bitland-mifs-wmi"; selecting
"performance" failed outright and wedged the daemon). Patch 2
detects the v2 firmware variant at probe and maps the QFAN codes
(2=quiet, 3=balanced, 4=speed, 9/10=extreme).

* The hwmon device reported zero RPM on all channels because the v2
firmware has no WMI fan function. Patch 3 reads the two fan
tachometers (u16 RPM, 0 = stopped) from the EC shared-memory window
at 0xFE0B0300 (DSDT region "ERAM", offsets 0x69/0x6B).

* Closing the lid produced no SW_LID event (screen stayed on, keys
pressed by the closed lid typed into the visible lock screen,
locking the account). Patch 4 polls the LSTE lid bit in the EC
window and, on a change, evaluates the very AML methods the EC
query would have run (_Q0C/_Q0D), restoring proper lid events.
DMI-gated to the affected model.

All values were reverse-engineered from the machine's DSDT/SSDT
(WMID device, _UID "MIFS") and verified live: mode switching changes
the EC QFAN register as expected, fan tachs ramp 0 -> ~2700 RPM under
load, lid close/open emit proper switch events consumed by
systemd-logind, and suspend/resume cycles complete cleanly with the
driver loaded (suspend_stats: fail 0).

Notes for reviewers:

* The v2 variant is detected at runtime (perf-mode query result
outside the v1 enumeration) so other Bitland machines sharing this
firmware generation get support without DMI entries; the lid quirk
additionally requires a DMI match.
* On this platform the firmware perf-mode switch reaches Intel DTT
(\_SB.IETM, INTC10D4) via ODV variables; mainline has no driver for
that device, so the TDP change the firmware intends is currently
not applied on Linux. Programming RAPL directly from this driver
seemed inappropriate; I left it out. Happy to hear preferences.
* Interactions with the in-flight "Merge redmi-wmi into
bitland-mifs-wmi" series [2] are limited to file context; the
control-device paths touched here are disjoint from the event-device
merge.
