Thank you for your patch.

Overall this looks pretty good I have one important remark
about the LED names and some small remarks inline.

After those are addressed I believe this is ready for merging.

So these names should be:

static const char * const zone_names[CASPER_LED_COUNT] = {
	"casper:rgb:kbd_zoned_backlight-right",
	"casper:rgb:kbd_zoned_backlight-middle",
	"casper:rgb:kbd_zoned_backlight-left",
	"casper:rgb:kbd_zoned_backlight-corners",
};

with that change I think this is fine, but we really need
to get an ack for this from the LED subsys maintainers.

Please add a second patch to this patch-serieas adding some
documentation about the use of these names for zoned RGB backlit
kbds in a new paragraph / subsection of the "LED Device Naming"
section of:

Documentation/leds/leds-class.rst 

It seems there are 2 possible sets which we should
probably document in one go:

The set of 4 zones from this patch:

:rgb:kbd_zoned_backlight-right
:rgb:kbd_zoned_backlight-middle
:rgb:kbd_zoned_backlight-left
:rgb:kbd_zoned_backlight-corners

As well as:

:rgb:kbd_zoned_backlight-main
:rgb:kbd_zoned_backlight-wasd
:rgb:kbd_zoned_backlight-cursor
:rgb:kbd_zoned_backlight-numpad

Maybe with a comment that in the future different
zone names are possible if keyboards with
a different zoning scheme show up.

Please use a separate acpi_status and ret variables here
with the correct types:

	struct casper_wmi_args wmi_args;
	struct acpi_buffer input;
	acpi_status status;
	int ret = 0;

And then here:

	status = wmidev_block_set(drv->wdev, 0, &input);
	if (ACPI_FAILURE(status))
		ret = -EIO;

Same here, also please sort variable declarations
in reverse christmas tree order, so longest lines first:


	struct casper_wmi_args wmi_args;
	struct acpi_buffer input;
	union acpi_object *obj;
	acpi_status status;
	int ret = 0;


> +	wmi_args = (struct casper_wmi_args) {

> +		(acpi_size) sizeof(struct casper_wmi_args),
> +		&wmi_args
> +	};
> +

And use status here to store the acpi_status type
returned by wmidev_block_set().

<snip>

The MODULE_DEVICE_TABLE() line should be directly below the declaration of
the table like this:


static const struct wmi_device_id casper_wmi_id_table[] = {
	{ CASPER_WMI_GUID, NULL },
	{ }
};
MODULE_DEVICE_TABLE(wmi, casper_wmi_id_table);

Hans
