ACPI: move wmi, asus_acpi, toshiba_acpi to drivers/platform/x86
These are platform specific drivers that happen to use ACPI,
while drivers/acpi/ is for code that implements ACPI itself.

296 | This driver adds support for the ACPI-WMI (Windows Management | ||
297 | Instrumentation) mapper device (PNP0C14) found on some systems. | ||
298 | |||
299 | ACPI-WMI is a proprietary extension to ACPI to expose parts of the | ||
300 | ACPI firmware to userspace - this is done through various vendor | ||
301 | defined methods and data blocks in a PNP0C14 device, which are then | ||
302 | made available for userspace to call. | ||
303 | |||
304 | The implementation of this in Linux currently only exposes this to | ||
305 | other kernel space drivers. | ||
306 | |||
307 | This driver is a required dependency to build the firmware specific | ||
308 | drivers needed on many machines, including Acer and HP laptops. | ||
309 | |||
310 | It is safe to enable this driver even if your DSDT doesn't define | ||
311 | any ACPI-WMI devices. | ||

318 | This driver provides support for extra features of ACPI-compatible | ||
319 | ASUS laptops. As some of Medion laptops are made by ASUS, it may also | ||
320 | support some Medion laptops (such as 9675 for example). It makes all | ||
321 | the extra buttons generate standard ACPI events that go through | ||
322 | /proc/acpi/events, and (on some models) adds support for changing the | ||
323 | display brightness and output, switching the LCD backlight on and off, | ||
324 | and most importantly, allows you to blink those fancy LEDs intended | ||
325 | for reporting mail and wireless status. | ||
326 | |||
327 | Note: display switching code is currently considered EXPERIMENTAL, | ||
328 | toying with these values may even lock your machine. | ||
329 | |||
330 | All settings are changed via /proc/acpi/asus directory entries. Owner | ||
331 | and group for these entries can be set with asus_uid and asus_gid | ||
332 | parameters. | ||
333 | |||
334 | More information and a userspace daemon for handling the extra buttons | ||
335 | at <http://sourceforge.net/projects/acpi4asus/>. | ||
336 | |||
337 | If you have an ACPI-compatible ASUS laptop, say Y or M here. This | ||
338 | driver is still under development, so if your laptop is unsupported or | ||
339 | something works not quite as expected, please use the mailing list | ||
340 | available on the above page (acpi4asus-user@lists.sourceforge.net). | ||
341 | |||
342 | NOTE: This driver is deprecated and will probably be removed soon, | ||
343 | use asus-laptop instead. | ||

353 | ---help--- | ||
354 | This driver adds support for access to certain system settings | ||
355 | on "legacy free" Toshiba laptops. These laptops can be recognized by | ||
356 | their lack of a BIOS setup menu and APM support. | ||
357 | |||
358 | On these machines, all system configuration is handled through the | ||
359 | ACPI. This driver is required for access to controls not covered | ||
360 | by the general ACPI drivers, such as LCD brightness, video output, | ||
361 | etc. | ||
362 | |||
363 | This driver differs from the non-ACPI Toshiba laptop driver (located | ||
364 | under "Processor type and features") in several aspects. | ||
365 | Configuration is accessed by reading and writing text files in the | ||
366 | /proc tree instead of by program interface to /dev. Furthermore, no | ||
367 | power management functions are exposed, as those are handled by the | ||
368 | general ACPI drivers. | ||
369 | |||
370 | More information about this driver is available at | ||
371 | <http://memebeam.org/toys/ToshibaAcpiDriver>. | ||
372 | |||
373 | If you have a legacy free Toshiba laptop (such as the Libretto L1 | ||
374 | series), say Y. | ||
