Add support for the difference between various models:
- Use dmi to detect laptop model.
- 2019 and newer models use _wmbb method to set battery charge limit.

This does not feel very robust how about doing a strstr for "201" and if that
fails for "202" to find the year ?
Regards,
Hans
p.s.
While reviewing this I also took a quick look at the existing lg-laptop.c
and the wmi_keymap stood out to me, specifically:
{KE_KEY, 0x74, {KEY_F13} }, /* Touchpad toggle (F5) */
If that key just sends this event and does not actually change the
touchpad settings, IOW userspace is supposed to react this (e.g.
filter out touchpad events in software after the toggle), then the
correct key to send here would be KEY_F21, this has been the standard
key-code to send for this for a while now and GNOME and KDE will
automatically do the right thing when sending that, including a
nice on-screen-display (OSD)notifcation (like when changing the volume)
indicating the new (software) state (on or off) of the touchpad.
If the hw does actually handle the touchpad on/off itself
(I see there also is a touchpad-led?) then the right thing to do
would be to send f22 (Touchpad toggle off-to-on) and f23
(Touchpad toggle on-to-off). This assumes that you can figure
out the new touchpad state. When receiving f22 / f23 GNOME will
display the OSD without making any other settings changes.
Also see: /lib/udev/hwdb.d/60-keyboard.hwdb
{KE_KEY, 0x10000000, {KEY_F16} },/* Keyboard backlight (F8) - pressing
* this key both sends an event and
* changes backlight level.
*/
If this hotkey changes the kbd-backlight level "in hardware"
then it should not send a key-press instead you should specify
led_classdev.flags = LED_BRIGHT_HW_CHANGED
For the kbd-backlight led_classdev and then call:
led_classdev_notify_brightness_hw_changed(&kbd_backlight, new_backlight_level);
When receiving the event. upower will pick the event send by this up
and then notify interested parties such as e.g. gnome-settings-daemon
which will then show a nice OSD with the new backlight level similar
to how it is done for e.g. volume controls.
If you can also send patches to change these 2 things, so that lg-laptop
conforms with the standard userspace APIs used for this that would be great.

Unfortunately, this is not so simple.
Some example model numbers:
15Z960-A.AA75U1
15Z980-R.AAS9U1
14T990-U.AAS8U1
17Z90P-K.AAB8U1
First two digits represent screen size. Third letter device type. Fifth
digit is the last digit of the model year (up to 2021, where it is 0 and
the sixth letter indicates the model year).

I sent patches for this (in a separate thread). But in my testing, this
does not happen automatically and I did not find yet how to configure
udev/upower/kde to display this notification.

You can check the events by running something like:
dbus-monitor --system "type='signal',interface='org.freedesktop.UPower.KbdBacklight',member='BrightnessChanged'"
The gnome-settings-daemon watches these signals and instructs the GNOME shell to display
an OSD about the new keyboard brightness. Well, at least on my machine. A quick search in
the repository[1] suggests that KDE's PowerDevil is also listening for these signals.
I am not sure now, but I seem to recall that UPower needed to be restarted to see a LED
that appeared after it was started when I was testing these LED brightness change notifications.

Right, one important remark though, for some reason when the brightness_hw_changed
API was added to the LED subsystem it was decided to make this a Kconfig
option, so in order for this to work you must also make sure to have:
CONFIG_LEDS_BRIGHTNESS_HW_CHANGED=y
in your .config .

Hans

Ok, then I'm just going to trust that you as the maintainer of the lg-laptop
driver know best and take the patch with the DMI string parsing left as
is (as you did in your new version).

Great, thank you.
