Cross-posted to 2 groups.

Source: linux
Severity: wishlist
Version: 6.19~rc4-1~exp1

In linux 6.19, the an initial platform driver named "uniwill" for a
variety of laptops was merged. The relevant chip is popular in most
laptops sold by Tuxedo (https://www.tuxedocomputers.com/en), but also
used in others (see https://github.com/pobrn/qc71_laptop for examples).
While the driver is fairly new, it is crucial for power management
(hardware monitoring, setting a charging profile, changing the fan
speed, keyboard backlight, etc). While I do not expect the driver to
cover all possible features in 6.19, it is actively being worked on
(https://lore.kernel.org/all/?q=uniwill) and will likely be in a good
shape by the time forky is released. Making it available in Debian
unstable and testing would ease testing it on a variety of devices.

Please enable CONFIG_X86_PLATFORM_DRIVERS_UNIWILL and
CONFIG_UNIWILL_LAPTOP in the non-cloud configuration for amd64.

Thanks for considering

Helmut
