    platform/x86: dell-privacy: Add support for Dell hardware privacy · 8af9fa37
    Perry Yuan authored
    add support for Dell privacy driver for the Dell units equipped
    hardware privacy design, which protect users privacy of audio and
    camera from hardware level. Once the audio or camera privacy mode
    activated, any applications will not get any audio or video stream
    when user pressed ctrl+F4 hotkey, audio privacy mode will be
    enabled, micmute led will be also changed accordingly
    The micmute led is fully controlled by hardware & EC(embedded controller)
    and camera mute hotkey is Ctrl+F9. Currently design only emits
    SW_CAMERA_LENS_COVER event while the camera lens shutter will be
    changed by EC & HW(hardware) control
    
    *The flow is like this:
    1) User presses key. HW does stuff with this key (timeout timer is started)
    2) WMI event is emitted from BIOS to kernel
    3) WMI event is received by dell-privacy
    4) KEY_MICMUTE emitted from dell-privacy
    5) Userland picks up key and modifies kcontrol for SW mute
    6) Codec kernel driver catches and calls ledtrig_audio_set
    7) dell-privacy notifies EC, the timeout is cancelled and the HW mute
       is activated. If the EC is not notified then the HW mic mute will
       activate when the timeout triggers, just a bit later than with the
       active ack.
