SPDX-License-Identifier: GPL-2.0-or-later + +==================== +Alienware WMI Driver +==================== + +Kurt Borja <kuurtb@gmail.com> + +This is a driver for the "WMAX" WMI device, which is found in most Dell gaming +laptops and controls various special features. + +Before the launch of M-Series laptops (~2018), the "WMAX" device controlled +basic RGB lighting, deep sleep mode, HDMI mode and amplifier status. + +Later, this device was completely repurpused.
