Add a "brightness_enable" module parameter that allows the local admin to
force the backlight support to not be enabled.
It can also be used to force the backlight support to be enabled, but that
is currently a no-op as the backlight support is enabled by default when
available. This will be changed by a different patch.

Lenovo ThinkPads often have 16 brightness levels in EC, and not just eight
levels like older ThinkPads. They also have standard ACPI backlight
brightness control.
We detect the number of brightness levels by the presence of a BCLL package
with 16 entries. If BCLL is not there, we assume eight levels (Z6*). If
it is there, but it doesn't have 16 entries, we assume eight levels (T60).
Otherwise we assume sixteen levels (T61, X61, etc).
We don't use _BCL because it can have side-effects in thinkpads. Thanks to
Thomas Renninger <trenn@suse.de> for notifying me of this potential
problem.
Using the standard ACPI backlight brightness control *instead* of the
native thinkpad backlight control is a better idea, though. A different
patch will take care of this.

Use a separate platform device and driver ("thinkpad_hwmon") to attach
hwmon attributes and class, and add a name attribute of "thinkpad" to
it, which defines the hwmon device name for libsensors4.
This makes thinkpad-acpi compatible with libsensors4 from lm-sensors, and
the platform driver and device split will make it much easier to separate
hwmon functionality into its own module later on.

Revert new 2.6.23 CONFIG_THINKPAD_ACPI_INPUT_ENABLED Kconfig option because
it would create a legacy we don't want to support.
CONFIG_THINKPAD_ACPI_INPUT_ENABLED was added to try to fix an issue that is
now moot with the addition of the netlink ACPI event report interface to
the ACPI core.
Now that ACPI core can send events over netlink, we can use a different
strategy to keep backwards compatibility with older userspace, without the
need for the CONFIG_THINKPAD_ACPI_INPUT_ENABLED games. And it arrived
before CONFIG_THINKPAD_ACPI_INPUT_ENABLED made it to a stable mainline
kernel, even, which is Good.
This patch is in sync with some changes to thinkpad-acpi backports, that
will keep things sane for userspace across different combinations of kernel
versions, thinkpad-acpi backports (or the lack thereof), and userspace
capabilities:
Unless a module parameter is used, thinkpad-acpi will now behave in such a
way that it will work well (by default) with userspace that still uses only
the old ACPI procfs event interface and doesn't care for thinkpad-acpi
input devices.
It will also always work well with userspace that has been updated to use
both the thinkpad-acpi input devices, and ACPI core netlink event
interface, regardless of any module parameter.
The module parameter was added to allow thinkpad-acpi to work with
userspace that has been partially updated to use thinkpad-acpi input
devices, but not the new ACPI core netlink event interface. To use this
mode of hot key reporting, one has to specify the hotkey_report_mode=2
module parameter.
The thinkpad-acpi driver exports the value of hotkey_report_mode through
sysfs, as well. thinkpad-acpi backports to older kernels, that do not
support the new ACPI core netlink interface, have code to allow userspace
to switch hotkey_report_mode at runtime through sysfs. This capability
will not be provided in mainline thinkpad-acpi as it is not needed there.

It appears that Lenovo decided to break the EC brightness control interface
in a weird way in their latest BIOSes. Fortunately, the old CMOS NVRAM
interface works just fine in such BIOSes.
Add a module parameter that allows the user to select which strategy to use
for brightness control: EC, NVRAM, or both. By default, do both (which is
the way thinkpad-acpi used to work until now) on IBM ThinkPads, and use
NVRAM only on Lenovo ThinkPads.

Some ThinkPad models, notably the T60 and X60, have a slider switch to
enable and disable the radios. The switch has the capability of
force-disabling the radios in hardware on most models, and it is supposed
to affect all radios (WLAN, WWAN, BlueTooth).
Export the switch state as a sysfs attribute, on ThinkPads where it is
available.
Thanks to Henning Schild for asking for this feature, and for tracking down
the EC register that holds the radio switch state.

Revise ACPI HKEY functionality to better interface with the firmware, and
enable up to 32 regular hotkeys, instead of just 16 of them. Ouch.
This takes care of most keys one used to have to do CMOS NVRAM polling on,
and should drop the need for tpb, thinkpad-keys, and other such 5Hz NVRAM
polling power vampires on most modern ThinkPads ;-)
And, just to add insult to injury, this was sort of working since forever
through the procfs interface, but nobody noticed or tried an echo
0xffffffff > /proc/acpi/ibm/hotkey and told me it would generate weird
events. ARGH!
Thanks to Richard Hughes for kicking off the work that ended up with this
discovery, and to Matthew Garret for calling my attention to the fact that
newer ThinkPads were indeed generating ACPI GPEs when such hot keys were
pressed.

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.

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.

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

"thinkpad_screen". This is something I wanted to do for quite a while...

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.

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.

Since ibm-acpi was renamed to thinkpad-acpi, rename and update its Kconfig
entries and Kconfig-related symbols accordingly.

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.
