This patch series contains the ibm-acpi devel queue for 2006-11-25. Please merge for acpi-test. Patch 1 fixes sub-driver naming so that it doesn't get in the way of a ACPI sysfs conversion work. Patch 2 just does some Lindent housekeeping work, as Len said he likes code to be as Lindent-clean as possible. Patches 3-5 extend thermal support for the new thinkpads, and updates thermal docs. Patches 6-13 extend fan support for new thinkpads, so people will stop using ecdump to directly modify EC registers ;-) Patches 14-15 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 16 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 17 adds support for SATA ultrabay (advanced ultrabay), found in *60 and *61 x/t/z-series. Patch 18 makes ibm-acpi non-generic bay support optional. Patch 19 refactors backlight support so that it is in line with=20 the rest of the ibm-acpi driver code. Patches 20-21 are just housekeeping. This patch series is available for git pull from: git://repo.or.cz/linux-2.6/linux-acpi-2.6/ibm-acpi-2.6.git branch for-upstream/acpi-test. --=20 "One disk to rule them all, One disk to find them.
