If this driver just provides a single sysctl, then I think that it would be simpler to add that sysctl to acpi_wmi.
Do you plan to have any other functionality in acpi_wmi_bmof?

Add the feature to acpi_wmi driver, instead of creating new driver.

Free MOF buf only when successfilly detach.

Some nit, pointed out by hrs@

No features other than obtaining MOF is expected, so I add the feature in parent driver, instead of having new driver.

share/man/man4/acpi_wmi.4
61 ↗	(On Diff #61693)	Are you sure about '-width indent' ? I am not an expert on this, it just looks unusual.
63 ↗	(On Diff #61693)	This line looks too long. Please break it up. Also, I am not sure if any special mark up is needed for URLs.
94 ↗	(On Diff #61693)	I would use something else rather than "blah blah" here. Maybe "..." or "etc".
116 ↗	(On Diff #61693)	No need for the space before the final '.'.

281 ↗	(On Diff #61693)	Please use the standard FreeBSD indentation for continuation lines (+4 spaces) here and in other new code.
282 ↗	(On Diff #61693)	Missing space before '}'.
286 ↗	(On Diff #61693)	Continuation
287 ↗	(On Diff #61693)	missing space
289 ↗	(On Diff #61693)	missing space
291 ↗	(On Diff #61693)	'(' should be on the original line. Also, wrong indentation.

Style nit.

A couple more nits.

share/man/man4/acpi_wmi.4
63 ↗	(On Diff #61717)	I think that it is preferred that a new sentence is started on a new line. That is to say that there should be a line break after each period that ends a sentence.
sys/dev/acpi_support/acpi_wmi.c
281 ↗	(On Diff #61717)	Extra space before ';'
282 ↗	(On Diff #61717)	A blank line is needed after a variable definition block.
291 ↗	(On Diff #61717)	I think that we do not do a nested continuation, so this line should probably be indented the same as the previous one. Though, that would be less readable, so I don't insist on such change.
