493What: Support for lcd_switch and display_get in asus-laptop driver
494When: March 2010
495Why: These two features use non-standard interfaces. There are the
496 only features that really need multiple path to guess what's
497 the right method name on a specific laptop.
498
499 Removing them will allow to remove a lot of code an significantly
500 clean the drivers.
501
502 This will affect the backlight code which won't be able to know
503 if the backlight is on or off. The platform display file will also be
504 write only (like the one in eeepc-laptop).
505
506 This should'nt affect a lot of user because they usually know
507 when their display is on or off.
