[ Upstream commit 97b726eb1d ]
The WMI driver core only supports GUID strings containing only
uppercase characters, however the GUID string used by the
msi-wmi-platform driver contains a single lowercase character.
This prevents the WMI driver core from matching said driver to
its WMI device.
Fix this by turning the lowercase character into a uppercase
character. Also update the WMI driver development guide to warn
about this.

commit baf2f2c2b4 upstream.
The ACPI byte code inside the ACPI control method responsible for
handling the WMI method calls uses a global buffer for constructing
the return value, yet the ACPI control method itself is not marked
as "Serialized".
This means that calling WMI methods on this WMI device is not
thread-safe, as concurrent WMI method calls will corrupt the global
buffer.
Fix this by serializing the WMI method calls using a mutex.

Add a new driver for the MSI WMI Platform interface. The underlying
ACPI WMI interface supports many features, but so far only reading
of fan speed sensors is implemented.
The driver was reverse-engineered based on a user request to the
lm-sensors project, see the github issue for details.
The ACPI WMI interface used by this driver seems to use the same
embedded controller interface as the msi-ec driver, but supports
automatic discovery of supported machines without relying on a
DMI whitelist.
The driver was tested by the user who created the github issue.

Pull documentation updates from Jonathan Corbet:
"Documentation work keeps chugging along; this includes:
- Work from Carlos Bilbao to integrate rustdoc output into the
generated HTML documentation. This took some work to figure out how
to do it without slowing the docs build and without creating people
who don't have Rust installed, but Carlos got there
- Move the loongarch and mips architecture documentation under
Documentation/arch/
- Some more maintainer documentation from Jakub
... plus the usual assortment of updates, translations, and fixes"

The WMI interface used by the dell-wmi-ddv driver contains
many methods which are currently unused, making it difficult
to document these inside the drivers source code.
Create the necessary documentation based on current knowledge
so that all details of the WMI interface can be written down
for later use.

Add documentation for the WMI subsystem. The documentation describes
both the ACPI WMI interface and the driver API for interacting with
the WMI driver core. The information regarding the ACPI interface
was retrieved from the Ubuntu kernel references and the Windows driver
samples available on GitHub. The documentation is supposed to help
driver developers writing WMI drivers, as many modern machines designed
to run Windows provide an ACPI WMI interface.
