From cc4c24e115ca7bc2e4ec74d70bcb8fda1d1a8df8 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Henrique de Moraes Holschuh Date: Wed, 30 May 2007 20:50:14 -0300 Subject: ACPI: thinkpad-acpi: do not use named sysfs groups The initial version of the thinkpad-acpi sysfs interface (not yet released in any stable mainline kernel) made liberal use of named sysfs groups, in order to get the attributes more organized. This proved to be a really bad design decision. Maybe if attribute groups were as flexible as a real directory, and if binary attributes were not second-class citizens, the idea of subdirs and named groups would not have been so bad. This patch makes all the thinkpad-acpi sysfs groups anonymous (thus removing the subdirs), adds the former group names as a prefix (so that hotkey/enable becomes hotkey_enable for example), and updates the documentation. These changes will make the thinkpad-acpi sysfs ABI a lot easier to maintain.
