Documentation: laptops: Add documentation for uniwill laptops
Add documentation for admins regarding Uniwill laptops. This should help them to setup the uniwill-laptop driver, which sadly cannot be loaded automatically.

Uniwill laptop extra features
|
||||
=============================
|
||||
|
||||
On laptops manufactured by Uniwill (either directly or as ODM), the ``uniwill-laptop`` driver
|
||||
handles various platform-specific features.
|
||||
|
||||
Module Loading
|
||||
--------------
|
||||
|
||||
The ``uniwill-laptop`` driver relies on a DMI table to automatically load on supported devices.
|
||||
When using the ``force`` module parameter, this DMI check will be omitted, allowing the driver
|
||||
to be loaded on unsupported devices for testing purposes.
|
||||
|
||||
Hotkeys
|
||||
-------
|
||||
|
||||
Usually the FN keys work without a special driver. However as soon as the ``uniwill-laptop`` driver
|
||||
is loaded, the FN keys need to be handled manually. This is done automatically by the driver itself.
|
||||
|
||||
Keyboard settings
|
||||
-----------------
|
||||
|
||||
The ``uniwill-laptop`` driver allows the user to enable/disable:
|
||||
|
||||
- the FN and super key lock functionality of the integrated keyboard
|
||||
- the touchpad toggle functionality of the integrated touchpad
|
||||
|
||||
See Documentation/ABI/testing/sysfs-driver-uniwill-laptop for details.
|
||||
|
||||
Hwmon interface
|
||||
---------------
|
||||
|
||||
The ``uniwill-laptop`` driver supports reading of the CPU and GPU temperature and supports up to
|
||||
two fans. Userspace applications can access sensor readings over the hwmon sysfs interface.
|
||||
|
||||
Platform profile
|
||||
----------------
|
||||
|
||||
Support for changing the platform performance mode is currently not implemented.
|
||||
|
||||
Battery Charging Control
|
||||
------------------------
|
||||
|
||||
The ``uniwill-laptop`` driver supports controlling the battery charge limit. This happens over
|
||||
the standard ``charge_control_end_threshold`` power supply sysfs attribute. All values
|
||||
between 1 and 100 percent are supported.
|
||||
|
||||
Additionally the driver signals the presence of battery charging issues through the standard
|
||||
``health`` power supply sysfs attribute.
|
||||
|
||||
Lightbar
|
||||
--------
|
||||
|
||||
The ``uniwill-laptop`` driver exposes the lightbar found on some models as a standard multicolor
|
||||
LED class device. The default name of this LED class device is ``uniwill:multicolor:status``.
|
||||
|
||||
See Documentation/ABI/testing/sysfs-driver-uniwill-laptop for details on how to control the various
|
||||
animation modes of the lightbar.
