Subject: [PATCH v5 0/1] platform/x86: Add wmi driver for Casper Excalibur laptops

From: Mustafa Ekşi <mustafa.eskieksi@...il.com>

Hi,
I want to note that moving mutex_init to the bottom of the function
crashes the driver when mutex_lock is called. I didn't investigate it
further but I wanted to say that since Ai Chao also did it like that.

Driver sets all leds to white on start. Before that, when a led's
brightness is changed, that led's color gets set to white but others
keep their old colors which creates a bad user experience (at least for
me). Please inform me if this is a bad approach.
Also, this driver still lacks support for changing modes and I seek
advise for that.
