+Description:
+ On Lenovo platforms there is a limitation in the number of times an attribute can be
+ saved. This is an architectural limitation and it limits the number of attributes
+ that can be modified to 48.
+ A solution for this is instead of the attribute being saved after every modification,
+ to allow a user to bulk set the attributes, and then trigger a final save. This allows
+ unlimited attributes.
+
+ Read the attribute to check what save mode is enabled (single or bulk).
+ E.g:
+ # cat /sys/class/firmware-attributes/thinklmi/attributes/save_settings
+ single
+
+ Write the attribute with 'bulk' to enable bulk save mode.
+ Write the attribute with 'single' to enable saving, after every attribute set.
+ The default setting is single mode.
+ E.g:
+ # echo bulk > /sys/class/firmware-attributes/thinklmi/attributes/save_settings
+
+ When in bulk mode write 'save' to trigger a save of all currently modified attributes.
+ Note, once a save has been triggered, in bulk mode, attributes can no longer be set and
+ will return a permissions error. This is to prevent users hitting the 48+ save limitation
+ (which requires entering the BIOS to clear the error condition)
+ E.g:
+ # echo save > /sys/class/firmware-attributes/thinklmi/attributes/save_settings
+
