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.

acpi_video_get_next_level was supposed to implement an algorithm to select a new brightness level based on the old brightness level of an ACPI video device, but it simply says "/* Fix me */" and returns the current brightness. This patch implements acpi_video_get_next_level properly. It had to change a few constants at the top of the file because they were (apparently) wrong, but it appears to work on my Dell Inspiron e1405 (with BIOS A05 only--BIOS A04 doesn't seem to send ACPI video hotkey events).

This patch adds support for the ultrabay on the T60, X60 and other new ThinkPads that have a SATA ultrabay. I intend to keep bay and dock support in ibm-acpi working and updated until it finally gets deprecated and removed in favour of the generic dock and bay support. But we aren't there yet.

This patch implements a fan control safety watchdog, by request of the authors of userspace fan control scripts. When the watchdog timer expires, the equivalent action of a "fan enable" command is executed. The watchdog timer is reset at every reception of a fan control command that could change the state of the fan itself. This command is meant to be used by userspace fan control daemons, to make sure the fan is never left set to an unsafe level because of userspace problems. Users of the X31/X40/X41 "speed" command are on their own, the current implementation of "speed" is just too incomplete to be used safely, anyway. Better to never use it, and just use the "level" command instead. The watchdog is programmed using echo "watchdog <number>" > fan, where number is the number of seconds to wait before doing an "enable", and zero disables the watchdog.

A few ThinkPads fail to initialize EC register 0x2f both in the EC firmware and ACPI DSDT. If the BIOS and the ACPI DSDT also do not initialize it, then the initial status of that register does not correspond to reality. On all reported buggy machines, EC 0x2f will read 0x07 (fan level 7) upon cold boot, when the EC is actually in mode 0x80 (auto mode). Since returning a text string ("unknown") would break a number of userspace programs, instead we correct the reading for the most probably correct answer, and return it is in auto mode. The workaround flags the status and level as unknown on module load/kernel boot, until we are certain at least one fan control command was issued, either by us, or by something else. We don't work around the bug by doing a "fan enable" at module load/startup (which would initialize the EC register) because it is not known if these ThinkPad ACPI DSDT might have set the fan to level 7 instead of "auto" (we don't know if they can do this or not) due to a thermal condition, and we don't want to override that, should they be capable of it. We should be setting the workaround flag to "status known" upon resume, as both reports and a exaustive search on the DSDT tables at acpi.sf.net show that the DSDTs always enable the fan on resume, thus working around the bug. But since we don't have suspend/resume handlers in ibm-acpi yet and the "EC register 0x2f was modified" logic is likely to catch the change anyway, we don't.

This patch extend fan control functions, implementing enable/disable for all write access modes, implementing level control for all level-capable write access modes. The patch also updates the documentation, explaining levels auto and disengaged. ABI changes: 1. Support level 0 as an equivalent to disable 2. Add support for level auto and level disengaged when doing EC 0x2f fan control 3. Support enable/disable for all level-based write access modes 4. Add support for level command on FANS thinkpads, as per thinkwiki reports Signed-off-by: Henrique de Moraes Holschuh <hmh@hmh.eng.br>

This patch fixes fan_read to return correct values for all fan access modes. It also implements some fan access mode status output that was missing, and normalizes the proc fan abi to return consistent data across all fan read/write modes. Userspace ABI changes and extensions: 1. Return status: enable/disable for *all* modes (this actually improves compatibility with userspace utils!) 2. Return level: auto and level: disengaged for EC 2f access mode 3. Return level: <number> for EC 0x2f access mode 4. Return level 0 as well as "disabled" in level-aware modes Signed-off-by: Henrique de Moraes Holschuh <hmh@hmh.eng.br>

This patch cleans up fan_read so that it is much easier to read and extend. The patch fixes the userspace ABI to return "status: not supported" (like all other ibm-acpi functions) when neither fan status or fan control are possible. It also fixes the userspace ABI to return EIO if ACPI access to the EC fails, instead of returning "status: unreadable" or "speed: unreadable".

Henrique de Moraes Holschuh authored
This patch extends ibm-acpi to support reading thermal sensors directly through ACPI EC register access. It uses a DMI match to detect ThinkPads with a new-style embedded controller, that are known to have forward- compatible register maps and use 0x00 to fill in non-used registers and export thermal sensors at EC offsets 0x78-7F and 0xC0-C7. Direct ACPI EC register access is implemented for 8-sensor and 16-sensor new-style ThinkPad controller firmwares as an experimental feature. The code does some limited sanity checks on the temperatures read through EC access, and will default to the old ACPI TMP0-7 mode if anything is amiss. Userspace ABI is not changed for 8 sensors, but /proc/acpi/ibm/thermal is extended for 16 sensors if the firmware supports 16 sensors. A documentation update is also provided. The information about the ThinkPad register map was determined by studying ibm-acpi "ecdump" output from various ThinkPad models, submitted by subscribers of the linux-thinkpad mailinglist. Futher information was gathered from the DSDT tables, as they describe the EC register map in recent ThinkPads. DSDT source shows that TMP0-7 access and direct register access are actually the same thing on these firmwares, but unfortunately IBM never did update their DSDT EC register map to export TMP8-TMP15 for the second range of sensors.
