Add a new driver for the MSI WMI Platform interface. The underlying ACPI WMI interface supports many features, but so far only reading of fan speed sensors is implemented. The driver was reverse-engineered based on a user request to the lm-sensors project, see the github issue for details. The ACPI WMI interface used by this driver seems to use the same embedded controller interface as the msi-ec driver, but supports automatic discovery of supported machines without relying on a DMI whitelist. The driver was tested by the user who created the github issue.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
