[PATCH v10 2/2] platform/x86/lenovo: Add Yoga Book 9 keyboard dock detection driver

From: Dave Carey <hidden>
Date: 2026-06-21 13:57:52
Subsystem: lenovo drivers, the rest, x86 platform drivers · Maintainers: Mark Pearson, Derek J. Clark, Linus Torvalds, Hans de Goede, Ilpo Järvinen

The Lenovo Yoga Book 9 14IAH10 ships with a detachable Bluetooth keyboard
that magnetically attaches to the bottom (secondary) screen in one of two
positions.  The Embedded Controller tracks the attachment state in a 2-bit
field called BKBD and signals changes via WMI event GUID
806BD2A2-177B-481D-BFB5-3BA0BB4A2285 (notify ID 0xEB on the WM10 ACPI
device, _UID "GMZN").

The device contains embedded BMOF data (WQDD, 20705 bytes) documenting
both WMI interfaces used by this driver:

   LENOVO_BTKBD_EVENT (event GUID): WmiDataId(1) uint32 Status.
   The ACPI _WED(0xEB) method returns EC.BKBD directly as an integer,
   so the notify callback receives BKBD without a separate query.

   LENOVO_FEATURE_STATUS_DATA (block GUID, WQAF method): returns an
   8-byte buffer {uint32 IDs=0x00060000, uint32 Status=BKBD}.
   Used for the initial state read on probe and after resume.

BKBD encoding:
   0 = keyboard detached
   1 = keyboard docked on top half of bottom screen
   2 = keyboard docked on bottom half of bottom screen
   3 = reserved (not observed in practice)

This driver registers two WMI drivers sharing a module-level
BLOCKING_NOTIFIER_HEAD:

   - The event driver (LENOVO_BTKBD_EVENT) uses .notify_new() to receive
     a pre-parsed wmi_buffer and fires the notifier chain with the BKBD
     value extracted from the buffer.

   - The block driver (LENOVO_FEATURE_STATUS_DATA) owns the input_dev in
     its per-device private struct.  At probe time it registers a
     notifier_block on the chain and reads the initial BKBD state via
     wmidev_query_block().  The WMI buffer is parsed as
     struct lenovo_feature_status { __le32 id; __le32 status; }, and the
     ID field is verified before the status is used.

   - SW_TABLET_MODE=1 is reported when the keyboard is detached;
     SW_TABLET_MODE=0 when docked in either position (keyboard present).

   - The raw BKBD value is exposed via read-only sysfs attribute
     "keyboard_position".

   - BKBD state is re-read via wmidev_query_block() on resume from
     suspend or hibernation.

Tested on: Lenovo Yoga Book 9 14IAH10 (model 83KJ), kernel 7.0.

+		Possible values:

+
+		SW_TABLET_MODE input events are also emitted: 0 when the keyboard
+		is docked (either position), 1 when detached.
