sony-laptop: call sonypi_compat_init earlier

2008-02-25T23:59:19+00:00

mainline: 015a916fbbf105bb15f4bbfd80c3b9b2f2e0d7db sonypi_compat uses a kfifo that needs to be present before _SRS is called to be able to cope with the IRQs triggered when setting resources.

sony-laptop: fix bug in event handling

2007-08-09T21:27:41+00:00

The rewritten event reading code from sonypi was absolutely wrong, this patche makes things functional for type2 and type1 models. Cc: Andrei Paskevich Signed-off-by: Mattia Dongili Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman

Remove the blink driver

2007-07-04T22:24:39+00:00

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

blink driver power saving

2007-07-01T18:08:39+00:00

The blink driver wakes up every jiffies which wastes power unnecessarily. Using a notifier gives same effect. Also add ability to unload module. Signed-off-by: Stephen Hemminger [ We should really just delete the whole thing. The blink driver is broken in many other ways too -Linus ] Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds

ACPI: thinkpad-acpi: do not use named sysfs groups

2007-05-31T16:53:00+00:00

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. Signed-off-by: Henrique de Moraes Holschuh Signed-off-by: Len Brown
