2007-09-17ACPI: thinkpad-acpi: revert new 2.6.23 CONFIG_THINKPAD_ACPI_INPUT_ENABLED optionHenrique de Moraes Holschuh
Revert new 2.6.23 CONFIG_THINKPAD_ACPI_INPUT_ENABLED Kconfig option because it would create a legacy we don't want to support. CONFIG_THINKPAD_ACPI_INPUT_ENABLED was added to try to fix an issue that is now moot with the addition of the netlink ACPI event report interface to the ACPI core. Now that ACPI core can send events over netlink, we can use a different strategy to keep backwards compatibility with older userspace, without the need for the CONFIG_THINKPAD_ACPI_INPUT_ENABLED games. And it arrived before CONFIG_THINKPAD_ACPI_INPUT_ENABLED made it to a stable mainline kernel, even, which is Good. This patch is in sync with some changes to thinkpad-acpi backports, that will keep things sane for userspace across different combinations of kernel versions, thinkpad-acpi backports (or the lack thereof), and userspace capabilities: Unless a module parameter is used, thinkpad-acpi will now behave in such a way that it will work well (by default) with userspace that still uses only the old ACPI procfs event interface and doesn't care for thinkpad-acpi input devices. It will also always work well with userspace that has been updated to use both the thinkpad-acpi input devices, and ACPI core netlink event interface, regardless of any module parameter. The module parameter was added to allow thinkpad-acpi to work with userspace that has been partially updated to use thinkpad-acpi input devices, but not the new ACPI core netlink event interface. To use this mode of hot key reporting, one has to specify the hotkey_report_mode=2 module parameter. The thinkpad-acpi driver exports the value of hotkey_report_mode through sysfs, as well. thinkpad-acpi backports to older kernels, that do not support the new ACPI core netlink interface, have code to allow userspace to switch hotkey_report_mode at runtime through sysfs. This capability will not be provided in mainline thinkpad-acpi as it is not needed there. Signed-off-by: Henrique de Moraes Holschuh <hmh@hmh.eng.br> Cc: Michael S.

2007-08-07ACPI: thinkpad-acpi: change thinkpad-acpi input default and kconfig helpHenrique de Moraes Holschuh
The current kconfig help text was misleading users. Also, the default for an input-layer-optimized support caused way too many problems without up-to-date userspace in place. So, rework the help text, and change the default to N. Note that distributions are supposed to enable this option as soon as they update HAL to a version that handles the thinkpad-acpi new input layer interface.

2007-07-21ACPI: thinkpad-acpi: allow use of CMOS NVRAM for brightness controlHenrique de Moraes Holschuh
It appears that Lenovo decided to break the EC brightness control interface in a weird way in their latest BIOSes. Fortunately, the old CMOS NVRAM interface works just fine in such BIOSes. Add a module parameter that allows the user to select which strategy to use for brightness control: EC, NVRAM, or both. By default, do both (which is the way thinkpad-acpi used to work until now) on IBM ThinkPads, and use NVRAM only on Lenovo ThinkPads.

2007-07-21ACPI: thinkpad-acpi: make the input event mode the defaultHenrique de Moraes Holschuh
Make the input layer the default way to deal with thinkpad-acpi hot keys, but add a kernel config option to retain the old way of doing things. This means we map a lot more keys to useful stuff by default, and also that we enable hot key handling by default on driver load (like Windows does). The documentation for proper use of this resource is also updated.

2007-07-04Remove the blink driverLinus Torvalds
Yeah, we could have just disabled it, but there's work on a new one that isn't as fundamentally broken, so there really doesn't seem to be any point in keeping it around. The recent timer cleanup broke the only valid use, and when I say "valid", I obviously mean "totally broken". So it's not like it works, or really even can work in the current format that uses the unsafe "panic" LED blinking routines.. Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>

Adds backlight support using backlight class. We now change the brightness *and toggle the backlight !* via /sys/class/backlight/asus-laptop/. If the user switchs the backlight using the keyboard, asus_hotk_notify looks for ATKD_LCD_OFF and ATKD_LCD_ON events, and stores the right state into hotk->status and bd->props->power .

Add led support, using generic led class. Thomas Tuttle's patch <http://lkml.org/lkml/2006/7/6/247> was very usefull. We use hotk->status to store led status because it's very hard to find acpi method to get the right status... To reduce the code, I use a lot of macro (ASUS_LED, ASUS_LED_REGISTER, etc ...), because the code is the same for all leds ...

2006-10-17[PATCH] ioc4: Enable build on non-SN2Brent Casavant
The SGI PCI-RT card, based on the SGI IOC4 chip, will be made available on Altix XE (x86_64) platforms in the near future. As such it is now a misnomer for the IOC4 base device driver to live under drivers/sn, and would complicate builds for non-SN2. This patch moves the IOC4 base driver code from drivers/sn to drivers/misc, and updates the associated Makefiles and Kconfig files to allow building on non-SN2 configs. Due to the resulting change in link order, it is now necessary to use late_initcall() for IOC4 subdriver initialization.

2005-04-16Linux-2.6.12-rc2Linus Torvalds
Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history, even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about 3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good infrastructure for it. Let it rip!
