-This driver enables access to the Sony Programmable I/O Control Device which
-can be found in many Sony Vaio laptops. Some newer Sony laptops (seems to be
-limited to new FX series laptops, at least the FX501 and the FX702) lack a
-sonypi device and are not supported at all by this driver.
-
-It will give access (through a user space utility) to some events those laptops
-generate, like:
-        - jogdial events (the small wheel on the side of Vaios)
-        - capture button events (only on Vaio Picturebook series)
-        - Fn keys
-        - bluetooth button (only on C1VR model)
-        - programmable keys, back, help, zoom, thumbphrase buttons, etc.
-          (when available)
-
-Those events (see linux/sonypi.h) can be polled using the character device node
-/dev/sonypi (major 10, minor auto allocated or specified as a option).
-A simple daemon which translates the jogdial movements into mouse wheel events
-can be downloaded at: <http://popies.net/sonypi/>
-
-Another option to intercept the events is to get them directly through the
-input layer.
-
-This driver supports also some ioctl commands for setting the LCD screen
-brightness and querying the batteries charge information (some more
-commands may be added in the future).
-
-This driver can also be used to set the camera controls on Picturebook series
-(brightness, contrast etc), and is used by the video4linux driver for the
-Motion Eye camera.
-
-Please note that this driver was created by reverse engineering the Windows
-driver and the ACPI BIOS, because Sony doesn't agree to release any programming
-specs for its laptops. If someone convinces them to do so, drop me a note.
-
-Driver options:
----------------
-
-Several options can be passed to the sonypi driver using the standard
-module argument syntax (<param>=<value> when passing the option to the
-module or sonypi.<param>=<value> on the kernel boot line when sonypi is
-statically linked into the kernel). Those options are:
-
-        minor:          minor number of the misc device /dev/sonypi,
-                        default is -1 (automatic allocation, see /proc/misc
-                        or kernel logs)
-
-        camera:         if you have a PictureBook series Vaio (with the
-                        integrated MotionEye camera), set this parameter to 1
-                        in order to let the driver access to the camera
-
-        fnkeyinit:      on some Vaios (C1VE, C1VR etc), the Fn key events don't
-                        get enabled unless you set this parameter to 1.
-                        Do not use this option unless it's actually necessary,
-                        some Vaio models don't deal well with this option.
-                        This option is available only if the kernel is
-                        compiled without ACPI support (since it conflicts
-                        with it and it shouldn't be required anyway if
-                        ACPI is already enabled).
-
-        verbose:        set to 1 to print unknown events received from the
-                        sonypi device.
-                        set to 2 to print all events received from the
-                        sonypi device.
-
-        compat:         uses some compatibility code for enabling the sonypi
-                        events. If the driver worked for you in the past
-                        (prior to version 1.5) and does not work anymore,
-                        add this option and report to the author.
-
-        mask:           event mask telling the driver what events will be
-                        reported to the user. This parameter is required for
-                        some Vaio models where the hardware reuses values
-                        used in other Vaio models (like the FX series who does
-                        not have a jogdial but reuses the jogdial events for
-                        programmable keys events). The default event mask is
-                        set to 0xffffffff, meaning that all possible events
-                        will be tried. You can use the following bits to
-                        construct your own event mask (from
-                        drivers/char/sonypi.h):
-                                SONYPI_JOGGER_MASK              0x0001
-                                SONYPI_CAPTURE_MASK             0x0002
-                                SONYPI_FNKEY_MASK               0x0004
-                                SONYPI_BLUETOOTH_MASK           0x0008
-                                SONYPI_PKEY_MASK                0x0010

-                                SONYPI_MEYE_MASK                0x0400

-                                SONYPI_WIRELESS_MASK            0x2000
-
-        useinput:       if set (which is the default) two input devices are
-                        created, one which interprets the jogdial events as
-                        mouse events, the other one which acts like a
-                        keyboard reporting the pressing of the special keys.
-
-Module use:
------------
-
-In order to automatically load the sonypi module on use, you can put those
-lines in your /etc/modprobe.conf file:
-
-        alias char-major-10-250 sonypi
-        options sonypi minor=250
-
-This supposes the use of minor 250 for the sonypi device:
-
-        # mknod /dev/sonypi c 10 250
-
-Bugs:
------
-
-        - several users reported that this driver disables the BIOS-managed
-          Fn-keys which put the laptop in sleeping state, or switch the
-          external monitor on/off. There is no workaround yet, since this
-          driver disables all APM management for those keys, by enabling the
-          ACPI management (and the ACPI core stuff is not complete yet). If
-          you have one of those laptops with working Fn keys and want to
-          continue to use them, don't use this driver.
-
-        - some users reported that the laptop speed is lower (dhrystone
-          tested) when using the driver with the fnkeyinit parameter. I cannot
-          reproduce it on my laptop and not all users have this problem.
-          This happens because the fnkeyinit parameter enables the ACPI
-          mode (but without additional ACPI control, like processor
-          speed handling etc). Use ACPI instead of APM if it works on your
-          laptop.
-
-        - sonypi lacks the ability to distinguish between certain key
-          events on some models.
-
-        - some models with the nvidia card (geforce go 6200 tc) uses a
-          different way to adjust the backlighting of the screen. There
-          is a userspace utility to adjust the brightness on those models,
-          which can be downloaded from
-          http://www.acc.umu.se/~erikw/program/smartdimmer-0.1.tar.bz2
-
-        - since all development was done by reverse engineering, there is
-          _absolutely no guarantee_ that this driver will not crash your
-          laptop. Permanently.
