This patch adds support for ACPI device driver .notify() methods. If such a method is present, Linux/ACPI installs a handler for device notifications (but not for system notifications such as Bus Check, Device Check, etc). When a device notification occurs, Linux/ACPI passes it on to the driver's .notify() method. In most cases, this removes the need for drivers to install their own handlers for device-specific notifications. For fixed hardware devices like some power and sleep buttons, there's no notification value because there's no control method to execute a Notify opcode. When a fixed hardware device generates an event, we handle it the same as a regular device notification, except we send a ACPI_FIXED_HARDWARE_EVENT value. This is outside the normal 0x0-0xff range used by Notify opcodes. Several drivers install their own handlers for system Bus Check and Device Check notifications so they can support hot-plug. This patch doesn't affect that usage. Signed-off-by: Bjorn Helgaas <bjorn.helgaas@hp.com> Reviewed-by: Alex Chiang <achiang@hp.com> Signed-off-by: Len Brown <len.brown@intel.com>

The battery driver tends to take quite some time to initialize (100ms-300ms is quite typical). This patch initializes the batter driver asynchronously, so that other things in the kernel can initialize in parallel to this 300 msec. As part of this, the battery driver had to move to the back of the ACPI init order (hence the Makefile change). Without this move, the next ACPI driver would just block on the ACPI/devicee layer semaphores until the battery driver was done anyway, not gaining any boot time.

The Aspire One's ACPI-WMI interface is a placeholder that does nothing, and the invalid results that we get from it are now causing userspace problems as acer-wmi always returns that the rfkill is enabled (i.e. the radio is off, when it isn't). As it's hardware controlled, acer-wmi isn't needed on the Aspire One either. Thanks to Andy Whitcroft at Canonical for tracking down Ubuntu's userspace issues to this.

Refactor and redesign the brightness control backend... In order to fix bugzilla #11750... Add a new brightness control mode: support direct NVRAM checkpointing of the backlight level (i.e. store directly to NVRAM without the need for UCMS calls), and use that together with the EC-based control. Disallow UCMS+EC, thus avoiding races with the SMM firmware. Switch the models that define HBRV (EC Brightness Value) in the DSDT to the new mode. These are: T40-T43, R50-R52, R50e, R51e, X31-X41. Change the default for all other IBM ThinkPads to UCMS-only. The Lenovo models already default to UCMS-only.

Enhance debugging messages for all rfkill subdrivers in thinkpad-acpi. Also, log a warning if the deprecated sysfs attributes are in use. These attributes are going to be removed sometime in 2010. There is an user-visible side-effect: we now coalesce attempts to enable/disable bluetooth or WWAN in the procfs interface, instead of hammering the firmware with multiple requests.

Some of the ThinkPad LEDs indicate critical conditions that can cause data loss or cause hardware damage when ignored (e.g. force-ejecting a powered up bay; ignoring a failing battery, or empty battery; force- undocking with the dock buses still active, etc). On almost all ThinkPads, LED access is write-only, and the firmware usually does fire-and-forget signaling on them, so you effectively lose whatever message the firmware was trying to convey to the user when you override the LED state, without any chance to restore it. Restrict access to all LEDs that can convey important alarms, or that could mislead the user into incorrectly operating the hardware. This will make the Lenovo engineers less unhappy about the whole issue. Allow users that really want it to still control all LEDs, it is the unaware user that we have to worry about.

The HKEY disable functionality basically cripples the entire event model of the ThinkPad firmware and of the thinkpad-acpi driver. Remove this functionality from the driver. HKEY must be enabled at all times while thinkpad-acpi is loaded, and disabled otherwise. For sysfs, according to the sysfs ABI and the thinkpad-acpi sysfs rules of engagement, we will just remove the attributes. This will be done in two stages: disable their function now, after two kernel releases, remove the attributes. For procfs, we call WARN(). If nothing triggers it, I will simply remove the enable/disable commands entirely in the future along with the sysfs attributes. I don't expect much, if any fallout from this. There really isn't any reason to mess with hotkey_enable or with the enable/disable commands to /proc/acpi/ibm/hotkey, and this has been true for years...

Add a debug helper that discloses the TGID of the userspace task attempting to access the driver. This is highly useful when dealing with bug reports, since often the user has no idea that some userspace application is accessing thinkpad-acpi... Also add a helper to log warnings about sysfs attributes that are deprecated. Use the new helpers to issue deprecation warnings for bluetooth_enable and wwan_enabled, that have been deprecated for a while, now.

Fix the vdbg_printk macro definition to be sane when CONFIG_THINKPAD_ACPI_DEBUG is undefined, and move the mess into a file section of its own. This doesn't change anything in the current code, but future code will need the proper behaviour.
