Since 2010, an LWN article covering WMI drivers exists:
https://lwn.net/Articles/391230/
Since the introduction of the modern bus-based interface
and other userspace tooling (bmfdec, lswmi, ...), this
article is outdated and causes people to still submit new
WMI drivers using the deprecated GUID-based interface.
Fix this by adding a short guide on how to develop WMI drivers
using the modern bus-based interface.

Add a place for device-specific documentation of WMI drivers.
The first entry is documentation for the wmi-bmof driver, with
additional documentation being expected to follow.

Add documentation for the WMI subsystem. The documentation describes
both the ACPI WMI interface and the driver API for interacting with
the WMI driver core. The information regarding the ACPI interface
was retrieved from the Ubuntu kernel references and the Windows driver
samples available on GitHub. The documentation is supposed to help
driver developers writing WMI drivers, as many modern machines designed
to run Windows provide an ACPI WMI interface.
