<title>ACPI video: if no ACPI backlight support, use vendor drivers</title>

<content type='text'>
If an ACPI graphics device supports backlight brightness functions (cmp. with
latest ACPI spec Appendix B), let the ACPI video driver control backlight and
switch backlight control off in vendor specific ACPI drivers (asus_acpi,
thinkpad_acpi, eeepc, fujitsu_laptop, msi_laptop, sony_laptop, acer-wmi).

Currently it is possible to load above drivers and let both poke on the
brightness HW registers, the video and vendor specific ACPI drivers -&gt; bad.

This patch provides the basic support to check for BIOS capabilities before
driver loading time. Driver specific modifications are in separate follow up
patches.

"acpi_backlight=vendor"
	Prever vendor driver over ACPI driver for backlight.
"acpi_backlight=video" (default)
	Prever ACPI driver over vendor driver for backlight.

Remove CONFIG_ACPI_EC.  It was always set the same as CONFIG_ACPI,
and it had no menu label, so there was no way to set it to anything
other than "y".

Per section 6.5.4 of the ACPI 3.0b specification,

    OSPM must make Embedded Controller operation regions, accessed
    via the Embedded Controllers described in ECDT, available before
    executing any control method.

The ECDT table is optional, but if it is present, the above text
means that the EC it describes is a required part of the ACPI
subsystem, so CONFIG_ACPI_EC=n wouldn't make sense.

Remove CONFIG_ACPI_POWER.  It was always set the same as CONFIG_ACPI,
and it had no menu label, so there was no way to set it to anything
other than "y".

The interfaces under CONFIG_ACPI_POWER (acpi_device_sleep_wake(),
acpi_power_transition(), etc) are called unconditionally from the
ACPI core, so we already depend on it always being present.

<title>ACPI: hack around sysfs warning with link order</title>

    There exists the following warning message will appear after the
following commit is merged.
   &gt;commit f2e969acd6d5981e6b1272810002558650d0736e
   &gt;Author: Zhao Yakui &lt;yakui.zhao@intel.com&gt;
   &gt;Date:   Mon Aug 11 14:57:50 2008 +0800
    &gt;ACPI: Add "acpi.power_nocheck=1" to disable power state check in
power transition:

   &gt;WARNING: at linux-2.6/fs/sysfs/dir.c:463  sysfs_add_one+0x33/0x39()
   &gt;sysfs: duplicate filename 'acpi' can not be created
   &gt;kobject_add_internal failed for acpi with -EEXIST, don't try to register
            things with the same name in the same directory

   In the above commit the "acpi.power_nocheck" module parameter is defined
in drivers/acpi/power.c file. As several module parameters using the same ACPI
prefix are defined in the different files(for example: power_nocheck is
defined in drivers/acpi/power.c,debug_layer/debug_level are defined in
drivers/acpi/debug.c) and there exists another module between them, the
warning message will be printed when using the current generic param code.
(In the function of param_sysfs_init).

   In fact when ACPI is selected, the drivers/acpi/power will also be compiled
as built-in kernel.So this issue can be fixed by the following approach.
   workaround it by adjusting the module link order in drivers/acpi/Makefile.
In such case the module parameter using the same prefix(ACPI) are put together
in the param data section.

   Of course the better solution is to fix it in generic param code related
with sysfs.

Detect all physical PCI slots as described by ACPI, and create entries in

Not all physical slots are hotpluggable, and the acpiphp module does not
detect them.  Now we know the physical PCI geography of our system, without
