thinkpad-acpi: handle HKEY 0x4010, 0x4011 events

2011-07-07T14:39:05Z

Handle events 0x4010 and 0x4011 so that we do not pester users about them. These events report when the thinkpad is docked/undocked to a native hotplug dock (i.e. one that does not need ACPI handling, nor is represented in the ACPI device tree). Such docks are based on USB 2.0/3.0, and also work as port replicators. We really want a proper dock class to report these, or at least new input EV_SW events. Since it is not clear which one to use yet, keep reporting them as vendor-specific ThinkPad events. WARNING: As defined by the thinkpad-acpi sysfs ABI rules of engagement, the vendor-specific events will be REMOVED as soon as generic events are made available (duplicate events are a big problem), with an appropriate update to the thinkpad-acpi sysfs/event ABI versioning. Userspace is already prepared to provide easy backwards compatibility for such changes when convenient to the distro (see acpi-fakekey). * Event 0x4010: docking to hotplug dock/port replicator * Event 0x4011: undocking from hotplug dock/port replicator Typical usecase would be to trigger display reconfiguration. Reports mention T410, T510, and series 3 docks/port replicators. Special thanks to Robert de Rooy for his extensive report and analysis of the situation. http://www.thinkwiki.org/wiki/ThinkPad_Port_Replicator_Series_3 http://www.thinkwiki.org/wiki/ThinkPad_Mini_Dock_Series_3 http://www.thinkwiki.org/wiki/ThinkPad_Mini_Dock_Plus_Series_3 http://www.thinkwiki.org/wiki/ThinkPad_Mini_Dock_Plus_Series_3_for_Mobile_Workstations http://lenovoblogs.com/insidethebox/?p=290 Signed-off-by: Henrique de Moraes Holschuh Cc: Matthew Garrett Reported-by: Claudius Hubig Reported-by: Doctor Bill Reported-by: Korte Noack Reported-by: Robert de Rooy Reported-by: Sebastian Will Signed-off-by: Matthew Garrett

thinkpad-acpi: handle some new HKEY 0x60xx events

2011-07-07T14:39:00Z

Handle some user interface events from the newer Lenovo models. We are likely to do something smart with these events in the future, for now, hide the ones we are already certain about from the user and userspace both. * Events 0x6000 and 0x6005 are key-related. 0x6005 is not properly identified yet. Ignore these events, and do not report them. * Event 0x6040 has not been properly identified yet, and we don't know if it is important (looks like it isn't, but still...). Keep reporting it. * Change the message the driver outputs on unknown 0x6xxx events, as all recent events are not related to thermal alarms. Degrade log level from ALERT to WARNING. Thanks to all users who reported these events or asked about them in a number of mailing lists. Your help is highly appreciated, even if I did took a lot of time to act on them. For that I apologise. I will list those that identified the reasons for the events as "reported-by", and I apologise in advance if I leave anyone out: it was not done on purpose, I made the mistake of not properly tagging all event report emails separately, and might have missed some.

Move hp_accel to drivers/platform/x86

2011-03-21T16:59:36Z

The hp_accel driver isn't a hardware monitoring driver, so it doesn't belong to drivers/hwmon. Move it to drivers/platform/x86, assuming HP doesn't ship non-x86 laptops.

thinkpad-acpi: untangle ACPI/vendor backlight selection

2010-08-16T15:54:50Z

acpi_video_backlight_support() already tells us if ACPI is handling backlight control through the generic ACPI handle. It is better to just trust it. While at it, adjust down a printk priority, and test earlier for brightness_enable=0. Signed-off-by: Henrique de Moraes Holschuh Signed-off-by: Matthew Garrett

Documentation: update broken web addresses.

2010-08-04T13:21:40Z

Below you will find an updated version from the original series bunching all patches into one big patch updating broken web addresses that are located in Documentation/* Some of the addresses date as far far back as 1995 etc... so searching became a bit difficult, the best way to deal with these is to use web.archive.org to locate these addresses that are outdated. Now there are also some addresses pointing to .spec files some are located, but some(after searching on the companies site)where still no where to be found. In this case I just changed the address to the company site this way the users can contact the company and they can locate them for the users. Signed-off-by: Justin P.
