The Wilco Embedded Controller is able to send telemetry data
which is useful for enterprise applications. A daemon running on
the OS sends a command to the EC via a write() to a char device,
and can read the response with a read(). The write() request is
verified by the driver to ensure that it is performing only one
of the whitelisted commands, and that no extraneous data is
being transmitted to the EC. The response is passed directly
back to the reader with no modification.
The character device will appear as /dev/wilco_telemN, where N
is some small non-negative integer, starting with 0. Only one
process may have the file descriptor open at a time. The calling
userspace program needs to keep the device file descriptor open
between the calls to write() and read() in order to preserve the
response. Up to 32 bytes will be available for reading.
For testing purposes, try requesting the EC's firmware build
date, by sending the WILCO_EC_TELEM_GET_VERSION command with
argument index=3. i.e. write [0x38, 0x00, 0x03]
to the device node. An ASCII string of the build date is
returned.

The Wilco Embedded Controller can create custom events that
are not handled as standard ACPI objects. These events can
contain information about changes in EC controlled features,
such as errors and events in the dock or display. For example,
an event is triggered if the dock is plugged into a display
incorrectly. These events are needed for telemetry and
diagnostics reasons, and for possibly alerting the user.
These events are triggered by the EC with an ACPI Notify(0x90),
and then the BIOS reads the event buffer from EC RAM via an
ACPI method. When the OS receives these events via ACPI,
it passes them along to this driver. The events are put into
a queue which can be read by a userspace daemon via a char device
that implements read() and poll(). The event queue acts as a
circular buffer of size 64, so if there are no userspace consumers
the kernel will not run out of memory. The char device will appear at
/dev/wilco_event{n}, where n is some small non-negative integer,
starting from 0. Standard ACPI events such as the battery getting
plugged/unplugged can also come through this path, but they are
dealt with via other paths, and are ignored here.
To test, you can tail the binary data with
$ cat /dev/wilco_event0 | hexdump -ve '1/1 "%x\n"'
and then create an event by plugging/unplugging the battery.

Boot on AC is a policy which makes the device boot from S5 when AC
power is connected. This is useful for users who want to run their
device headless or with a dock.

A Property is typically a data item that is stored to NVRAM
by the EC. Each of these data items has an index associated
with it, known as the Property ID (PID). Properties may have
variable lengths, up to a max of WILCO_EC_PROPERTY_MAX_SIZE
bytes. Properties can be simple integers, or they may be more
complex binary data.
This patch adds support for getting and setting properties.
This will be useful for setting the charge algorithm and charge
schedules, which all use properties.

Add a debugfs attribute that allows sending raw commands to the EC.
This is useful for development and debug but should not be enabled
in a production environment.
To test:
Get the EC firmware build date
First send the request command
> echo 00 f0 38 00 03 00 > raw
Then read the result. "12/21/18" is in the middle of the response
> cat raw
00 31 32 2f 32 31 2f 31 38 00 00 0f 01 00 01 00 .12/21/18.......

This EC is an incompatible variant of the typical Chrome OS embedded
controller. It uses the same low-level communication and a similar
protocol with some significant differences. The EC firmware does
not support the same mailbox commands so it is not registered as a
cros_ec device type. This commit exports the wilco_ec_mailbox()
function so that other modules can use it to communicate with the EC.
