+What:           /sys/kernel/debug/ec/*/{gpe,use_global_lock,io}
+Date:           July 2010
+Contact:        Thomas Renninger <trenn@suse.de>
+Description:
+
+General information like which GPE is assigned to the EC and whether
+the global lock should get used.
+Knowing the EC GPE one can watch the amount of HW events related to
+the EC here (XY -> GPE number from /sys/kernel/debug/ec/*/gpe):
+/sys/firmware/acpi/interrupts/gpeXY
+
+The io file is binary and a userspace tool located here:
+ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/people/trenn/sources/ec/
+should get used to read out the 256 Embedded Controller registers
+or writing to them.
+
+CAUTION: Do not write to the Embedded Controller if you don't know
+what you are doing! Rebooting afterwards also is a good idea.
+This can influence the way your machine is cooled and fans may
+not get switched on again after you did a wrong write.

+EXPERIMENTAL: Embedded controller register dump
+-----------------------------------------------
 
-EXPERIMENTAL: Embedded controller register dump -- /proc/acpi/ibm/ecdump
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
-
-This feature is marked EXPERIMENTAL because the implementation
-directly accesses hardware registers and may not work as expected. USE
-WITH CAUTION! To use this feature, you need to supply the
-experimental=1 parameter when loading the module.
-
-This feature dumps the values of 256 embedded controller
-registers. Values which have changed since the last time the registers
-were dumped are marked with a star:

-This feature can be used to determine the register holding the fan
-speed on some models. To do that, do the following:
+This feature is not included in the thinkpad driver anymore.
+Instead the EC can be accessed through /sys/kernel/debug/ec with
+a userspace tool which can be found here:
+ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/people/trenn/sources/ec
 
+Use it to determine the register holding the fan
+speed on some models. To do that, do the following:
         - make sure the battery is fully charged
         - make sure the fan is running
-        - run 'cat /proc/acpi/ibm/ecdump' several times, once per second or so
-
-The first step makes sure various charging-related values don't
-vary. The second ensures that the fan-related values do vary, since
-the fan speed fluctuates a bit. The third will (hopefully) mark the
-fan register with a star:

-Another set of values that varies often is the temperature
+        - use above mentioned tool to read out the EC
+
+Often fan and temperature values vary between
 readings. Since temperatures don't change vary fast, you can take
 several quick dumps to eliminate them.
