fd77149105 platform/x86: wmi-bmof: use MODULE_DEVICE_TABLE() instead of MODULE_ALIAS()
WMI drivers can if they have specified an array of struct wmi_device_id
use the MODULE_DEVICE_TABLE() macro to automatically generate the
appropriate MODULE_ALIAS() output. Thus avoiding to keep both the array
of struct wmi_device_id and the MODULE_ALIAS() declaration(s) in sync.

Change driver to use MODULE_DEVICE_TABLE() instead of MODULE_ALIAS().

f9dd82c0ea platform/x86: wmi-bmof: New driver to expose embedded Binary WMI MOF metadata
Many laptops (and maybe servers?) have embedded WMI Binary MOF metadata.
We do not yet have open-source tools for processing the data, although
one is in the works thanks to Pali:

	https://github.com/pali/bmfdec

There is currently no interface to get the data in the first place. By
exposing it, we facilitate the development of new tools.

This is based on the original work of Andy Lutomirski <luto@kernel.org>,
but contains several modifications in response to various reviews.
