* ACPI: thinkpad-acpi: do not use named sysfs groupsHenrique de Moraes Holschuh2007-05-311-14/+11
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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 <hmh@hmh.eng.br> Signed-off-by: Len Brown <len.brown@intel.com>

* ACPI: thinkpad-acpi: add a fan-control feature master toggleHenrique de Moraes Holschuh2007-04-281-8/+7
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Len Brown considers that an active by default fan control interface in laptops may be too close to giving users enough rope. There is a good chance he is quite correct on this, especially if someone decides to use that interface in applets and users are not aware of its risks. This patch adds a master switch to thinkpad-acpi that enables or disables the entire fan-control feature as a module parameter: "fan_control". It defaults to disabled. Set it to non-zero to enable fan control. Also, the patch removes the expermiental status from fan control, since it is stable enough to not be called experimental, and the master switch makes it safe enough to do so.

* ACPI: thinkpad-acpi: update brightness sysfs interface supportHenrique de Moraes Holschuh2007-04-251-6/+46
| | | | | | | | | | | | Update the brightness sysfs interface (done through the backlight class) to be in line with the rest of the thinkpad-acpi driver. This renames the incorrect, un-obvious, and clash-prone name of "ibm" for the backlight device to a much more fitting and descriptive "thinkpad_screen". This is something I wanted to do for quite a while... Signed-off-by: Henrique de Moraes Holschuh <hmh@hmh.eng.br> Signed-off-by: Len Brown <len.brown@intel.com>

* ACPI: thinkpad-acpi: add sysfs support to fan subdriverHenrique de Moraes Holschuh2007-04-251-51/+106
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Export sysfs attributes to monitor and control the internal thinkpad fan (some thinkpads have more than one fan, but thinkpad-acpi doesn't support the second fan yet). The sysfs interface follows the hwmon design guide for fan devices. Also, fix some stray "thermal" files in the fan procfs description that have been there forever, and officially support "full-speed" as the name for the PWM-disabled state of the fan controller to keep it in line with the hwmon interface. It is much better a name for that mode than the unobvious "disengaged" anyway. Change the procfs interface to also accept full-speed as a fan level, but still report it as disengaged for backwards compatibility.

* ACPI: thinkpad-acpi: add sysfs support to the thermal subdriverHenrique de Moraes Holschuh2007-04-251-6/+20
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Export thinkpad thermal sensors to sysfs, following the hwmon specification for thermal monitoring sensors. ThinkPad thermal monitoring is done by the EC. Sensors can show up or disappear at runtime when they are inside hotswappable hardware, such as batteries. Sensors that are not available return -ENXIO when accessed. Up to 16 thermal sensors are supported on new firmware (but nobody has reported a ThinkPad with more than 12 sensors so far), and 8 sensors are supported on older firmware. Thermal sensor mapping is model-specific. Precision varies, it is 1 degree Celcius on new ThinkPads, but higher on some older models.

| | | | | | | | | | | Improve the detection of ThinkPads, so as to reduce the chances of false positives. Since this could potentially add false negatives on the very old models, add a module parameter to force the detection of a thinkpad.

* ACPI: ibm-acpi: rename driver to thinkpad-acpiHenrique de Moraes Holschuh2007-03-301-0/+693
Rename the ibm-acpi driver to thinkpad-acpi. ThinkPads are not even made by IBM anymore, so it is high time to rename the driver... The name thinkpad-acpi was used sometime ago by a thinkpad-specific hotkey driver by Erik Rigtorp, around the 2.6.8-2.6.10 time frame. The driver apparently never got merged into mainline (it did make some trips through -mm). ibm-acpi was merged soon after, making its debut in 2.6.10. The reuse of the thinkpad-acpi name shouldn't be a problem as far as user confusion goes, as Erik's thinkpad-acpi apparently didn't get widespread use in the Linux ThinkPad community and most hits for thinkpad-acpi in google point to ibm-acpi anyway. Erik, if you read this, please consider the reuse of the thinkpad-acpi name as a compliment to your effort to make ThinkPads more useful to all of us.
