The asus-laptop driver implements a number of interfaces like the
backlight class driver. This change makes it easier to examine the
implementation of one interface at at a time, without having to search
through the file to find init() and exit() functions etc.

(Changelog stolen from Alan's patch for eeepc-laptop, but this patch
does the same thing for asus-laptop)
Callback methods should not refer to a variable like "asus" (formally
"hotk"). Instead, they should extract the data they need either from
a "driver data" parameter, or the "driver data" field of the object
which they operate on. The "asus" variable can then be removed.
In practice, drivers under "drivers/platform" can get away without using
driver data, because it doesn't make sense to have more than one
instance of them. However this makes it harder to review them for
correctness. This is especially true for core ACPI developers who have
not previously been exposed to this anti-pattern :-).
This will serve as an example of best practice for new driver writers
(whether they find it themselves, or have it pointed out during review
:-).

Before we mark the wireless device as unplugged, check PCI config space
to see whether the wireless device is really disabled (and vice versa).
This works around newer models which don't want the hotplug code, where
we end up disabling the wired network device.
My old 701 still works correctly with this. I can also simulate an
afflicted model by changing the hardcoded PCI bus/slot number in the
driver, and it seems to work nicely (although it is a bit noisy).
In future this type of hotplug support will be implemented by the PCI
core. The existing blacklist and the new warning message will be
removed at that point.

Given the right combination of ThinkPad and X.org, just reading the
video output control state is enough to hard-crash X.org.
Until the day I somehow find out a model or BIOS cut date to not
provide this feature to ThinkPads that can do video switching through
X RandR, change permissions so that only processes with CAP_SYS_ADMIN
can access any sort of video output control state.
This bug could be considered a local DoS I suppose, as it allows any
non-privledged local user to cause some versions of X.org to
hard-crash some ThinkPads.

Studying the DSDTs of various thinkpads, it looks like bit 3 of the
argument to SBDC and SWAN is not "set radio to last state on resume".
Rather, it seems to be "if this bit is set, enable radio on resume,
otherwise disable it on resume".
So, the proper way to prepare the radios for S3 suspend is: disable
radio and clear bit 3 on the SBDC/SWAN call to to resume with radio
disabled, and enable radio and set bit 3 on the SBDC/SWAN call to
resume with the radio enabled.
Also, for persistent devices, the rfkill core does not restore state,
so we really need to get the firmware to do the right thing.
We don't sync the radio state on suspend, instead we trust the BIOS to
not do anything weird if we never touched the radio state since boot.
Time will tell if that's a wise way of doing things...

Thadeu Lima de Souza Cascardo reports this:
Brightness notification does not work until the user writes to
hotkey_mask attribute. That's because the polling thread will only run
if hotkey_user_mask is set and someone is reading the input device or
if hotkey_driver_mask is set. In this second case, this condition is
not tested after the mask is changed, because the brightness and
volume drivers are started after the hotkey drivers.
Fix tpacpi_hotkey_driver_mask_set() to call hotkey_poll_setup(), so

Event 0x3006 is used to help power management of the ODD in the
UltraBay. The EC generates this event when the ODD eject button is
pressed (even if the bay is powered down).
Normally, Linux doesn't need this as we keep the SATA link powered
up (which wastes power). The EC powers up the bay by itself when the
ODD eject button is pressed, and the SATA PHY reports the hotplug.
However, we could also power that SATA link down (and for that matter,
also power down the Ultrabay) if the ODD is left idle for a while with
no disk inside, and use event 0x3006 to know when we need that SATA link
powered back up.
For now, just stop asking for more information when event 0x3006 is
seen, there is no point in pestering users about it anymore.

The EeePC 4G ("701") implements CFVS, but it is not supported by the
pre-installed OS, and the original option to change it in the BIOS
setup screen was removed in later versions. Judging by the lack of
"Super Hybrid Engine" on Asus product pages, this applies to all "701"
models (4G/4G Surf/2G Surf).
So Asus made a deliberate decision not to support it on this model.
We have several reports that using it can cause the system to hang [1].
That said, it does not happen all the time. Some users do not
experience it at all (and apparently wish to continue "right-clocking").
Check for the EeePC 701 using DMI. If met, then disable writes to the
"cpufv" sysfs attribute and log an explanatory message.
Add a "cpufv_disabled" attribute which allow users to override this
policy. Writing to this attribute will log a second message.
The sysfs attribute is more useful than a module option, because it
makes it easier for userspace scripts to provide consistent behaviour
(according to user configuration), regardless of whether the kernel
includes this change.

This is a new generic kernel FIFO implementation.
The current kernel fifo API is not very widely used, because it has to
many constrains. Only 17 files in the current 2.6.31-rc5 used it.
FIFO's are like list's a very basic thing and a kfifo API which handles
the most use case would save a lot of development time and memory
resources.
I think this are the reasons why kfifo is not in use:
- The API is to simple, important functions are missing
- A fifo can be only allocated dynamically
- There is a requirement of a spinlock whether you need it or not
- There is no support for data records inside a fifo
So I decided to extend the kfifo in a more generic way without blowing up
the API to much. The new API has the following benefits:
- Generic usage: For kernel internal use and/or device driver.
- Provide an API for the most use case.
- Slim API: The whole API provides 25 functions.
- Linux style habit.
- DECLARE_KFIFO, DEFINE_KFIFO and INIT_KFIFO Macros
- Direct copy_to_user from the fifo and copy_from_user into the fifo.
- The kfifo itself is an in place member of the using data structure, this save an
indirection access and does not waste the kernel allocator.
- Lockless access: if only one reader and one writer is active on the fifo,
which is the common use case, no additional locking is necessary.
- Remove spinlock - give the user the freedom of choice what kind of locking to use if
one is required.
- Ability to handle records. Three type of records are supported:
- Variable length records between 0-255 bytes, with a record size
field of 1 bytes.
- Variable length records between 0-65535 bytes, with a record size
field of 2 bytes.
- Fixed size records, which no record size field.
- Preserve memory resource.
- Performance!
- Easy to use!
This patch:
Since most users want to have the kfifo as part of another object,
reorganize the code to allow including struct kfifo in another data
structure. This requires changing the kfifo_alloc and kfifo_init
prototypes so that we pass an existing kfifo pointer into them. This

Fixed non-conflicting clean merge of modpost.c as per comments from
Stephen Rothwell (modpost.c had grown an include of linux/autoconf.h
that needed to be changed to generated/autoconf.h)
Some models are equipped with an "AVMode" function key that sends

Any of the platform API functions can fail; driver should be prepared
to handle such failures. Also:
- changed to platform_driver_probe() since the device is created
right there with the driver;
- added __devexit annotation to remove method;
- fixed memory leak on module unload - named platform_device_del() is not
enough to free platform device, need platform_device_unregister().

Sysfs attribute group takes care of proper creation of a set of attributes
and implements proper error unwinding so the driver does not have to do it.

This patch adds support for the ACPI events generated by the RFKill
switch on modern Toshiba laptops, and re-enables the Bluetooth USB
device when the switch is flipped back to the 'on' position.
The RFKill switch brute force pulls out the USB device when flipped to
'off', but it doesn't automatically re-enable it. Without this driver,
the Bluetooth is gone until after a reboot on my Portege R500.

Added new BIOS versions for following netbooks: Acer 1410, Gateway LT31,
Packard Bell DOA150. As the Gateway LT31 machines have different register
values for setting and checking the off-state, the "cmd_off" variable has
been splitted up to "cmd_off" and "chk_off".
