It is about time to bump up the version.
Features added since 0.21: fan suspend/resume support, preserve radio
state across power off (for some radio types), built-in UWB radio
rfkill support and thermal alarm events support.Signed-off-by: Henrique de Moraes Holschuh

Add rfkill support for USB UWB radio devices on very recent ThinkPad
laptop models.The new subdriver is moslty a trimmed down copy of the wwan subdriver.

It is always "an" if there is a vowel _spoken_ (not written).
So it is:
"an hour" (spoken vowel)
but
"a uniform" (spoken 'j')Signed-off-by: Frederik Schwarzer

Put some information (and pointers to more) into the kernel's doc tree,
describing briefly the interface to the kernel's disk head unloading
facility. Information about how to set up a complete shock protection
system under GNU/Linux can be found on the web and is referenced
accordingly.v3:
Here is some final polish including various spelling corrections
pointed out by Grant Grundler and Peter Moulder. Also, I have added some
information about the timing constraints related to disk head parking.
The patch looks more impressive than it really is and I think it would
be alright just to incorporate it into the original patch so as not to
clutter up the git log.Signed-off-by: Elias Oltmanns

rfkill support deserves a new version checkpoint...

Add a read/write rfkill interface to the bluetooth radio switch on the
bluetooth submodule, and one for the wireless wan radio switch to the wan
submodule.Since rfkill does care for when a switch changes state, use WLSW
notifications to also check if the WWAN or Bluetooth switches did not
change state (due to them being slaves of WLSW in firmware/hardware, but
that reality not being always properly exported by the thinkpad firmware).Signed-off-by: Henrique de Moraes Holschuh

Unfortunately, a lot of stuff in the kernel has size limitations, so
"thinkpad-acpi" ends up eating up too much real estate. We were using
"tpacpi" in symbols already, but this shorthand was not visible to
userland.Document that the driver will use tpacpi as a short hand where necessary,
and use it to name the kernel thread for NVRAM polling (now named
"ktpacpi_nvramd").Also, register a module alias with the shorthand. One can refer to the
module using the shorthand name.Signed-off-by: Henrique de Moraes Holschuh

Lenovo ThinkPads with generic ACPI backlight level control can be easily
set to react to keyboard brightness key presses in a more predictable way
than what they do when in "DOS / bootloader" mode after Linux brings
up the ACPI interface.The switch to the ACPI backlight mode in the firmware is designed to be
safe to use only as an one way trapdoor. One is not to force the firmware
to switch back to "DOS/bootloader" mode except by rebooting. The mode
switch itself is performed by calling any of the ACPI _BCL methods at least
once.When in ACPI mode, the backlight firmware just issues (standard) events for
the brightness up/down hot key presses along with the non-standard HKEY
events which thinkpad-acpi traps, and doesn't touch the hardware.thinkpad-acpi will:
1. Place the ThinkPad firmware in ACPI backlight control mode
if one is available
2. Suppress HKEY backlight change notifications by default
to avoid double-reporting when ACPI video is loaded when
the ThinkPad is in ACPI backlight control mode
3. Urge the user to load the ACPI video driverThe user is free to use either the ACPI video driver to get the brightness
key events, or to override the thinkpad-acpi default hotkey mask to get
them from thinkpad-acpi as well (this will result in duplicate events if
ACPI video is loaded, so let's hope distros won't screw this up).Provided userspace is sane, all should work (and *keep* working), which is
more that can be said about the non-ACPI mode of the new Lenovo ThinkPad
BIOSes when coupled to current userspace and X.org drivers.Full guidelines for backlight hot key reporting and use of the
thinkpad-acpi backlight interface have been added to the documentation.Signed-off-by: Henrique de Moraes Holschuh

The mail LED name for acer-wmi currently hardcodes in the colour as green.
This is wrong, since many of the newer laptops now come with an orange
LED, and we have no way of telling what colour is used on a given system.Also, rename the mail LED to be inline with the current recommendations of
the LED class documentation.Signed-off-by: Carlos Corbacho

A quick study of the 0x5009/0x500A HKEY event on the X61t DSDT revealed the
existence of the EC HTAB register (EC 0x0f, bit 7), and a compare with the
X41t DSDT shows that HKEY.MHKG can be used to verify if the ThinkPad is
tablet-capable (MHKG present), and in tablet mode (bit 3 of MHKG return is
set).Add an attribute to report this information, "hotkey_tablet_mode". This
attribute has poll()/select() support, and can be used along with EV_SW
SW_TABLET_MODE to hook userspace to tablet events.Signed-off-by: Henrique de Moraes Holschuh

There are currently various laptop drivers floating about with no central
place for their documentation, which is currently scattered around the top
level Documentation/ directory.So, as a first step, lets create a Documentation sub-directory, and update
the relevant index files. The work of then moving the existing laptop
driver related documentation will then be handled later.Signed-off-by: Carlos Corbacho
