Esteve Varela Colominas 0465098898 platform/x86: thinkpad_acpi: Allow the FnLock LED to change state
[ Upstream commit 3d677f12ea3a2097a16ded570623567403dea959 ]

On many recent ThinkPad laptops, there's a new LED next to the ESC key,
that indicates the FnLock status.
When the Fn+ESC combo is pressed, FnLock is toggled, which causes the
Media Key functionality to change, making it so that the media keys
either perform their media key function, or function as an F-key by
default. The Fn key can be used the access the alternate function at any
time.

With the current linux kernel, the LED doens't change state if you press
the Fn+ESC key combo. However, the media key functionality *does*
change. This is annoying, since the LED will stay on if it was on during
bootup, and it makes it hard to keep track what the current state of the
FnLock is.

This patch calls an ACPI function, that gets the current media key
state, when the Fn+ESC key combo is pressed. Through testing it was
discovered that this function causes the LED to update correctly to
reflect the current state when this function is called.

The relevant ACPI calls are the following:
\_SB_.PCI0.LPC0.EC0_.HKEY.GMKS: Get media key state, returns 0x603 if the FnLock mode is enabled, and 0x602 if it's disabled.
\_SB_.PCI0.LPC0.EC0_.HKEY.SMKS: Set media key state, sending a 1 will enable FnLock mode, and a 0 will disable it.

README

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
