Draft: Show ENERGY STAR logo on compliant systems

Benjamin Berg requested to merge benzea/energy-star into main

For ENERGY STAR certification purposes, the ENERGY STAR logo must be shown, there are three ways to do so:

  • Sticker on the chassis
  • Show logo for 5 seconds at boot
  • Show logo in power settings panel

The first two options are both undesirable (expensive sticker, longer boot). As such, it makes sense to add support for this in g-c-c.

NOTE: I am marking this as WIP, because we might still want to change the exact name. In general, it will most likely be a variable set on the DMI device, but the exact details are still up to discussion. We could, e.g.:

  • Have one array for all certifications.
  • Define whether we want to include metadata in the udev rule (not relevant for g-c-c).

A corresponding rule could look like (hardware vendor configured after certification!):

SUBSYSTEM=="dmi", DEVPATH=="/devices/virtual/dmi/id", ENV{MODALIAS}=="*:pvrThinkPadX1Carbon7th:*", ENV{ENERGY_STAR_CERTIFIED}="8.0"
