Three main sets of changes:
1) dmi_get_system_info() return value should have been marked const,
since callers should not be changing that data.
2) const-ify DMI internals, since DMI firmware tables should,
whenever possible, be marked const to ensure we never ever write to
that data area.
3) const-ify DMI API, to enable marking tables const where possible
in low-level drivers.
And if we're really lucky, this might enable some additional
optimizations on the part of the compiler.
The bulk of the changes are #2 and #3, which are interrelated. #1 could
have been a separate patch, but it was so small compared to the others,
it was easier to roll it into this changeset.

The patch below adds DMI/SMBIOS based module autoloading to the Linux
kernel. The idea is to load laptop drivers automatically (and other
drivers which cannot be autoloaded otherwise), based on the DMI system
identification information of the BIOS.
Right now most distros manually try to load all available laptop
drivers on bootup in the hope that at least one of them loads
successfully. This patch does away with all that, and uses udev to
automatically load matching drivers on the right machines.
Basically the patch just exports the DMI information that has been
parsed by the kernel anyway to userspace via a sysfs device
/sys/class/dmi/id and makes sure that proper modalias attributes are
available. Besides adding the "modalias" attribute it also adds
attributes for a few other DMI fields which might be useful for
writing udev rules.
This patch is not an attempt to export the entire DMI/SMBIOS data to
userspace. We already have "dmidecode" which parses the complete DMI
info from userspace. The purpose of this patch is machine model
identification and good udev integration.
To take advantage of DMI based module autoloading, a driver should
export one or more MODULE_ALIAS fields similar to these:
MODULE_ALIAS("dmi:*:svnMICRO-STARINT'LCO.,LTD:pnMS-1013:pvr0131*:cvnMICRO-STARINT'LCO.,LTD:ct10:*");
MODULE_ALIAS("dmi:*:svnMicro-StarInternational:pnMS-1058:pvr0581:rvnMSI:rnMS-1058:*:ct10:*");
MODULE_ALIAS("dmi:*:svnMicro-StarInternational:pnMS-1412:*:rvnMSI:rnMS-1412:*:cvnMICRO-STARINT'LCO.,LTD:ct10:*");
MODULE_ALIAS("dmi:*:svnNOTEBOOK:pnSAM2000:pvr0131*:cvnMICRO-STARINT'LCO.,LTD:ct10:*");
These lines are specific to my msi-laptop.c driver. They are basically
just a concatenation of a few carefully selected DMI fields with all
potentially bad characters stripped.
Besides laptop drivers, modules like "hdaps", the i2c modules
and the hwmon modules are good candidates for "dmi:" MODULE_ALIAS
lines.
Besides merely exporting the DMI data via sysfs the patch adds
support for a few more DMI fields. Especially the CHASSIS fields are
very useful to identify different laptop modules. The patch also adds
working MODULE_ALIAS lines to my msi-laptop.c driver.
I'd like to thank Kay Sievers for helping me to clean up this patch
for posting it on lkml.
Patch is against Linus' current GIT HEAD. Should probably apply to
older kernels as well without modification.

commands
The ACPI EC that is used in MSI laptops knows some non-standard
commands for changing the screen brighntess and a few other things,
which are used by the msi-laptop.c driver. Unfortunately for these
commands no GPE events for IBF and OBF are triggered. Since nowadays
the EC code uses the ec_intr=1 mode by default, this causes these
operations to timeout, although they don't fail. In result, all
operations that you can do with the msi-laptop.c driver take more or
less 1s to complete, which is awfully slow.
In one of the more recent kernels (2.6.20?) the EC subsystem has been
revamped. With that change the EC timeout has been increased. before
that increase the MSI EC accesses were slow -- but not *that* slow,
hence I took notice of this limitation of the MSI EC hardware only very
recently.
The standard EC operations on the MSI EC as defined in the ACPI spec
support GPE events properly.
The following patch adds a new argument "force_poll" to the
ec_transaction() function (and friends). If set to 1, the function
will poll for IBF/OBF even if ec_intr=1 is enabled. If set to 0 the
current behaviour is used. The msi-laptop driver is modified to make
use of this new flag, so that OBF/IBF is polled for the special MSI EC
transactions -- but only for them.

Per device data such as brightness belongs to the indivdual device
and should therefore be separate from the the backlight operation
function pointers. This patch splits the two types of data and
allows simplifcation of some code.

Remove uneeded owner field from backlight_properties structure.
Nothing uses it and it is unlikely that it will ever be used. The
backlight class uses other means to ensure that nothing references
unloaded code.

This patch set adds generic abstract layer support for acpi video driver to
have generic user interface to control backlight and output switch control by
leveraging the existing backlight sysfs class driver, and by adding a new
video output sysfs class driver.
This patch:
Add dev argument for backlight_device_register to link the class device to
real device object. The platform specific driver should find a way to get the
real device object for their video device.

Create a driver to support the platform-specific features
of MSI S270 laptops (and maybe other MSI laptops).
This driver implements a backlight device for controlling LCD brightness
(/sys/class/backlight/msi-laptop-bl/).
In addition it allows access to the WLAN and Bluetooth states
through a platform driver (/sys/devices/platform/msi-laptop-pf/).
