Documentation: ABI: Update WMI device paths in ABI docs
The WMI driver core might append an ID to the WMI device name to avoid
name collisions in case multiple WMI devices with the same GUID are
present. Update all sysfs path referring to WMI devices to inform
users about this important detail.

8599a12b1e platform/x86: Update Mario Limonciello's email address in the docs
Various pdx86 docs under Documentation/ABI/testing still use Mario's
old, now defunct, <mario.limonciello@dell.com> address.

Update the docs to point to either the new Dell.Client.Kernel@dell.com
email alias for Dell specific drivers, or to Mario's new @outlook.com
address for other drivers.

ce6a90027c platform/x86: Add driver to force WMI Thunderbolt controller power status
Current implementations of Intel Thunderbolt controllers will go
into a low power mode when not in use.

Many machines containing these controllers also have a GPIO wired up
that can force the controller awake.  This is offered via a ACPI-WMI
interface intended to be manipulated by a userspace utility.

This mechanism is provided by Intel to OEMs to include in BIOS.
It uses an industry wide GUID that is populated in a separate _WDG
entry with no binary MOF.

This interface allows software such as fwupd to wake up thunderbolt
controllers to query the firmware version or flash new firmware.
