[Bug 1992516] Re: Missing WMI GUID for Intel WFDE

[Kemp, Bryan]

Ok, I think I understand. My apologies as I am just coming up to speed on this. I am curious if this is an exception case that needs to be included / understood by the toolset. As I understand it, the GUID is built into the BIOS firmware. I currently believe its purpose is for Windows and is not required for Linux, but must be in the firmware either way. That is why there is no kernel driver for the GUID. Should this be a failure?  I would assume that if this tool ran under Windows, then there would be the proper support for this GUID and the test would be successful. My goal is to be able to clean up some false negatives or at a minimum reduce the severity. Does this make sense?

It is still no kernel driver handle this GUID, i.e. it is still unknown to the kernel, a driver may need to be implemented for this GUID. So we won't apply this patch until it exists in kernel.
