| 493 | What: Support for lcd_switch and display_get in asus-laptop driver | ||
| 494 | When: March 2010 | ||
| 495 | Why: 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. | ||
