H A D | sysfs-platform-dell-smbios | 33b9ca1e Wed Nov 01 14:25:30 CDT 2017 Mario Limonciello <mario.limonciello@dell.com> platform/x86: dell-smbios: Add a sysfs interface for SMBIOS tokens
Currently userspace tools can access system tokens via the dcdbas kernel module and a SMI call that will cause the platform to execute SMM code.
With a goal in mind of deprecating the dcdbas kernel module a different method for accessing these tokens from userspace needs to be created.
This is intentionally marked to only be readable as a process with CAP_SYS_ADMIN as it can contain sensitive information about the platform's configuration.
While adding this interface I found that some tokens are duplicated. These need to be ignored from sysfs to avoid duplicate files.
MAINTAINERS was missing for this driver. Add myself and Pali to maintainers list for it.
