[It seems vger doesn't like my batch mailings... so retrying also with an updated patchset] Hi Len, first of all a thought about pushing all the latest sony-laptop stuff for 2.6.22: many recent vaios are not supported anymore by sonypi wrt its functionalities while they all seem to work with the acpi based implementation present in sony-laptop in acpi-test. Thus I'd suggest pushing all of it to Linus when the 2.6.22 window opens. Agree? Then a small explanation about this batch, patch description is in the patch itself: 1. a fix for the motion eye camera support in old c1ve/c1vn series, the camera support is still incomplete in sony-laptop at this point but this change is needed to avoid bad things with the current code, and support will be complete with patch #6 2. add mutex locking to the ioport access in sony-laptop 3. add power on/off a new device present in some SZ laptops (edge/gprs modem) 4. suggest using sony-laptop to sonypi users both to try to have more feedback and to start moving away from it. 5. try to detect sony-laptop usage in sonypi by looking at the known ioports usage 6. complete motion eye camera support in sony-laptop 7. add sony-laptop.h header for meye usage 8. make meye use sony-laptop instead of sonypi 9. remove camera controls from the platform attributes and let the meye module do it based on real pci_ids. The patches are based on acpi-test, please apply. --- drivers/char/sonypi.c | 35 ++++ drivers/media/video/meye.c | 62 ++++---- drivers/media/video/meye.h | 4 drivers/misc/sony-laptop.c | 314 +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++--------------- include/linux/sony-laptop.h | 34 ++++ 5 files changed, 308 insertions(+), 141 deletions(-) -- mattia :wq! - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-acpi" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
