add : acpi_call

[MiMillieuh]

Describe the package

I would like to request to add acpi_call dkms to the akmods. (this way ublue will be superior to fedora (that's a joke please don't kill me))

I have yet another motherboard that uses acpi to controls fans and some other stuff. I don't even understand why it isn't in the mainline kernel since a lot of laptops seems to have use of it but still.

Neraly all lenovo, clevo, PCspecialist laptops are concerned. and there are many more that I don't know.

This is a common issue for me on a lot of distro to control my fans and sometimes power.

Since I have 0 knowledge on akmods I build the dkms and make it work with a post script. acpi_call is meant to be used with DKMS so I don't even know if it will be possible to use akmods.

here are the sources of my build I also made a little guide for ublue on it : https://github.com/MiMillieuh/acpi_call-fedora

As a temporary working solution for anyone else trying to install acpi_call to your Ublue Image you can add the content of this zip in your repository and modify in script/post/acpi_call-module.sh this line :

wget https://github.com/MiMillieuh/Ublue-MiMiOS/raw/live/modules/acpi_call.ko

to this :

wget https://github.com/yourusername/yourrepo/raw/live/modules/acpi_call.ko

I think this is contingent on #222
