5f70bf7510 ACPI: thinkpad-acpi: change thinkpad-acpi input default and kconfig help
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.

Fallout from f8a7c6fe14.  However, looking
at it shows that checks done in ASUS_LED_UNREGISTER() can't trigger
at all (we never get to asus_led_exit() if registration fails) and
if that registration fails, we actually leak stuff.  IOW, it's worse
than just replacing class_dev with dev in there - the tests themselves
had been papering over the lousy cleanup logics.

6315fd1c9c sony-laptop: Add support for recent Vaios Fn keys (C series for now)
Recent Vaios (C, AR, N, FE) need some special initialization
sequence to enable Fn keys interrupts through the Embedded
Controller. Moreover Fn keys have to be decoded internally
using ACPI methods to get the key code.
Thus a new DMI table to add SNC init time callbacks and new
mappings for model-specific key code to generic sony-laptop
code have been added.

f432255e93 ACPI: thinkpad-acpi: add locking to brightness subdriver
The backlight class does all the locking needed for sysfs access, but
offers no API to interface to that locking without an layer violation.

Since we need to mutex-lock procfs access, implement in-driver locking for
brightness.  It will go away the day thinkpad-acpi procfs goes away, or the
backlight class gives us a way to use its locks without a layer violation.

Lenovo ThinkPads have a slightly different key map layout from IBM
ThinkPads (fn+f2 and fn+f3 are swapped).  Knowing which one we are dealing
with, we can properly set a few more hot keys up by default.

Also, export the correct vendor in the input device, as that information

24d3b77467 ACPI: thinkpad-acpi: allow use of CMOS NVRAM for brightness control
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.

6a38abbf2b ACPI: thinkpad-acpi: add input device support to hotkey subdriver
Add input device support to the hotkey subdriver.

Hot keys that have a valid keycode mapping are reported through the input
layer if the input device is open.  Otherwise, they will be reported as
ACPI events, as they were before.

Scan codes are reported (using EV_MSC MSC_SCAN events) along with EV_KEY
KEY_UNKNOWN events.

For backwards compatibility purposes, hot keys that used to be reported
through ACPI events are not mapped to anything meaningful by default.
Userspace is supposed to remap them if it wants to use the input device for
hot key reporting.

74941a69af ACPI: thinkpad-acpi: export to sysfs the state of the radio slider switch
Some ThinkPad models, notably the T60 and X60, have a slider switch to

Export the switch state as a sysfs attribute, on ThinkPads where it is
available.

Thanks to Henning Schild for asking for this feature, and for tracking down
the EC register that holds the radio switch state.

ae92bd17ff ACPI: thinkpad-acpi: enable more hotkeys
Revise ACPI HKEY functionality to better interface with the firmware, and
enable up to 32 regular hotkeys, instead of just 16 of them.  Ouch.

This takes care of most keys one used to have to do CMOS NVRAM polling on,
and should drop the need for tpb, thinkpad-keys, and other such 5Hz NVRAM
polling power vampires on most modern ThinkPads ;-)

And, just to add insult to injury, this was sort of working since forever
through the procfs interface, but nobody noticed or tried an echo
0xffffffff > /proc/acpi/ibm/hotkey and told me it would generate weird
events. ARGH!

Thanks to Richard Hughes for kicking off the work that ended up with this
discovery, and to Matthew Garret for calling my attention to the fact that
newer ThinkPads were indeed generating ACPI GPEs when such hot keys were
pressed.

376df37a5b Use menuconfig objects II - misc strange dev
Make a "menuconfig" out of the Kconfig objects "menu, ..., endmenu",
so that the user can disable all the options in that menu at once
instead of having to disable each option separately.

7b595756ec sysfs: kill unnecessary attribute->owner
sysfs is now completely out of driver/module lifetime game.  After
deletion, a sysfs node doesn't access anything outside sysfs proper,
so there's no reason to hold onto the attribute owners.  Note that
often the wrong modules were accounted for as owners leading to
accessing removed modules.

This patch kills now unnecessary attribute->owner.  Note that with
this change, userland holding a sysfs node does not prevent the
backing module from being unloaded.

For more info regarding lifetime rule cleanup, please read the
following message.

(tweaked by Greg to not delete the field just yet, to make it easier to
merge things properly.)

4f5c791a85 DMI-based module autoloading
The patch below adds DMI/SMBIOS based module autoloading to the Linux
kernel. The idea is to load laptop drivers automatically (and other
drivers which cannot be autoloaded otherwise), based on the DMI system
identification information of the BIOS.

Right now most distros manually try to load all available laptop
drivers on bootup in the hope that at least one of them loads
successfully. This patch does away with all that, and uses udev to
automatically load matching drivers on the right machines.

Basically the patch just exports the DMI information that has been
parsed by the kernel anyway to userspace via a sysfs device
/sys/class/dmi/id and makes sure that proper modalias attributes are
available. Besides adding the "modalias" attribute it also adds
attributes for a few other DMI fields which might be useful for
writing udev rules.

This patch is not an attempt to export the entire DMI/SMBIOS data to
userspace. We already have "dmidecode" which parses the complete DMI
info from userspace. The purpose of this patch is machine model
identification and good udev integration.

To take advantage of DMI based module autoloading, a driver should
export one or more MODULE_ALIAS fields similar to these:

MODULE_ALIAS("dmi:*:svnMICRO-STARINT'LCO.,LTD:pnMS-1013:pvr0131*:cvnMICRO-STARINT'LCO.,LTD:ct10:*");
MODULE_ALIAS("dmi:*:svnMicro-StarInternational:pnMS-1058:pvr0581:rvnMSI:rnMS-1058:*:ct10:*");
MODULE_ALIAS("dmi:*:svnMicro-StarInternational:pnMS-1412:*:rvnMSI:rnMS-1412:*:cvnMICRO-STARINT'LCO.,LTD:ct10:*");
MODULE_ALIAS("dmi:*:svnNOTEBOOK:pnSAM2000:pvr0131*:cvnMICRO-STARINT'LCO.,LTD:ct10:*");

These lines are specific to my msi-laptop.c driver. They are basically
just a concatenation of a few carefully selected DMI fields with all
potentially bad characters stripped.

Besides laptop drivers, modules like "hdaps", the i2c modules
and the hwmon modules are good candidates for "dmi:" MODULE_ALIAS
lines.

Besides merely exporting the DMI data via sysfs the patch adds
support for a few more DMI fields. Especially the CHASSIS fields are
very useful to identify different laptop modules. The patch also adds
working MODULE_ALIAS lines to my msi-laptop.c driver.

I'd like to thank Kay Sievers for helping me to clean up this patch
for posting it on lkml.

Patch is against Linus' current GIT HEAD. Should probably apply to
older kernels as well without modification.
