1driver/acpi/hotkey.c implement:
21. /proc/acpi/hotkey/event_config
3(event based hotkey or event config interface):
4a. add a event based hotkey(event) :
5echo "0:bus::action:method:num:num" > event_config
6
7b. delete a event based hotkey(event):
8echo "1:::::num:num" > event_config

10c. modify a event based hotkey(event):
11echo "2:bus::action:method:num:num" > event_config

132. /proc/acpi/hotkey/poll_config
14(polling based hotkey or event config interface):
15a.add a polling based hotkey(event) :
16echo "0:bus:method:action:method:num" > poll_config
17this adding command will create a proc file
18/proc/acpi/hotkey/method, which is used to get
19result of polling.

21b.delete a polling based hotkey(event):
22echo "1:::::num" > event_config

28(interface to call aml method associated with a
29specific hotkey(event))
30echo "event_num:event_type:event_argument" >
31 /proc/acpi/hotkey/action.
32The result of the execution of this aml method is
33attached to /proc/acpi/hotkey/poll_method, which is dynamically
34created. Please use command "cat /proc/acpi/hotkey/polling_method"
35to retrieve it.

37Note: Use cmdline "acpi_generic_hotkey" to over-ride
38platform-specific with generic driver.

250What: ACPI hotkey driver (CONFIG_ACPI_HOTKEY)
251When: 2.6.21
252Why: hotkey.c was an attempt to consolidate multiple drivers that use
253 ACPI to implement hotkeys. However, hotkeys are not documented
254 in the ACPI specification, so the drivers used undocumented
255 vendor-specific hooks and turned out to be more different than
256 the same.
257
258 Further, the keys and the features supplied by each platform
259 are different, so there will always be a need for
260 platform-specific drivers.
261
262 So the new plan is to delete hotkey.c and instead, work on the
263 platform specific drivers to try to make them look the same
264 to the user when they supply the same features.
265
266 hotkey.c has always depended on CONFIG_EXPERIMENTAL
