This patch series contains the ibm-acpi devel queue. Patch 1 just does some Lintend housekeeping work, as Len said he likes code to be as Lindent-clean as possible. Patches 2-4 extend thermal support for the new thinkpads, and updates thermal docs. Patches 5-12 extend fan support for new thinkpads, so people will stop using ecdump to directly modify EC registers ;-) Patches 13-14 implement a work-around for a bug in the EC firmware in certain thinkpads, see http://thinkwiki.org/wiki/Embedded_Controller_Firmware#Bug:_Fan_control_l= oop_status_is_not_initialized Patch 15 adds a watchdog functionality for fan control that has been requested by developers of userspace fan control utilities. Many thinkpads have very annoying out-of-the-box fan behaviour, so userspace fan control is quite widespread among T4x owners, for example. Patch 16 adds support for the S30, thanks to help from Alex Deucher <ale...@gm...>. Patches 17-19 deals with backlight annoyances. I am all for sysfs support and using the generic classes, but the way it was added to ibm-acpi was not in line with the rest of the driver code. Patches 20-21 are just housekeeping. Please comment, I intend to push this upstream in two days, maybe even earlier than that. --=20 "One disk to rule them all, One disk to find them.
