250 | What: ACPI hotkey driver (CONFIG_ACPI_HOTKEY) | ||
251 | When: 2.6.21 | ||
252 | Why: 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 | ||
