Maybe its not too late. As far as I am concerned, it is *not* too late. And you can always have a driver-private way of messing with something, and a more generic way of doing the same thing. thinkpad-acpi will always welcome patches switching to the new generic way (as long as we can have a deprecation period *for long-time-used facilities* -- which is not the case of the privacy screen, no deprecation period need there). The privacy thing is too new, feel free to design a generic one and send in a patch *switching* thinkpad-acpi to the new generic one. I would ACK that. If the subsystem maintainer also agrees, (and nobody *seriously* complain about it from userspace), the private interface would be gone just like that. -- Henrique Holschuh _______________________________________________ dri-devel mailing list dri-devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/dri-devel
