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.

Since 2010, an LWN article covering WMI drivers exists:
https://lwn.net/Articles/391230/
Since the introduction of the modern bus-based interface
and other userspace tooling (bmfdec, lswmi, ...), this
article is outdated and causes people to still submit new
WMI drivers using the deprecated GUID-based interface.
Fix this by adding a short guide on how to develop WMI drivers
using the modern bus-based interface.

that _WED should be evaluated every time an ACPI notification
is received.

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 a place for device-specific documentation of WMI drivers.
The first entry is documentation for the wmi-bmof driver, with
additional documentation being expected to follow.

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.
