In linux kernel since version 5.10.255 (release Date: 2026-05-08)
Select this to enable GPIO-signaled ACPI events support on platforms
with the following SoCs:
- Intel Nova Lake
This driver adds support for new mode of handling platform events,
through the use of GPIO-signaled ACPI events. Main purpose is to
handle platform IRQs that originate in PCH components, for example
interrupt triggered by Power Management Event (PME).
This driver, at this time, is not required to handle platform events.
Listed platform(s) will stay in legacy mode, handling ACPI events as
in previous generations. However, future platforms will eventually
switch to new handling mode, requiring this driver to run events
properly.
Driver supports up to 128 GPIO pins per GPE block.
To compile this driver as a module, choose M here: the module will
be called gpio-novalake-events.
