From 176dd98523fee4836210bc0834c8e3e6a93247bf Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Henrique de Moraes Holschuh Date: Sun, 20 Sep 2009 14:09:24 -0300 Subject: thinkpad-acpi: drop HKEY event 0x5010 HKEY event 0x5010 is useless to us: old ThinkPads don't issue it. Newer ThinkPads won't issue it anymore. And all ThinkPads issue 0x1010 and 0x1011 events. Just silently drop it instead of sending it to userspace.

Handle better the second-gen firmware, which has no HKEY mask support but does report FN+F3, FN+F4 and FN+F12 without the need for NVRAM polling. a) always make the mask-related attributes available in sysfs; b) use DMI quirks to detect the second-gen firmware; c) properly report that FN+F3, FN+F4 and FN+F12 are enabled, and available even on mask-less second-gen firmware; 2. Decouple the issuing of hotkey events towards userspace from their reception from the firmware. ALSA mixer and brightness event reporting support will need this feature. 3. Clean up the mess in the hotkey driver a great deal. It is still very convoluted, and wants a full refactoring into a proper event API interface, but that is not going to happen today. 4. Fully reset firmware interface on resume (restore hotkey mask and status). 5. Stop losing polled events for no good reason when changing the mask and poll frequencies. We will still lose them when the hotkey_source_mask is changed, as well as any that happened between driver suspend and driver resume. The hotkey subdriver now has the notion of user-space-visible hotkey event mask, as well as of the set of "hotkey" events the driver needs (because brightness/volume change reports are not just keypress reports in most ThinkPad models). With this rewrite, the ABI level is bumped to 0x020500 should userspace need to know it is dealing with the updated hotkey subdriver.
