Len,
Here is the second and third batches of thinkpad-acpi changes for the
merge window (target: 2.6.24).
I have taken into account the comments about the brightness levels, and
now I do the detection without touching _BCL, and allow the user to select
which kind of backlight interface he wants at runtime. The default *is*
the ACPI generic backlight interface.
There are also a few fixes, and the third batch adds support for NVRAM
polling of hot keys, needed by older thinkpads.
Please merge this batch to acpi-test. I have rebased the git tree to
linus' latest, since there was a change in mainline that touched
thinkpad-acpi (no conflicts, though).
As usual, the patch set is available at:
git://repo.or.cz/linux-2.6/linux-acpi-2.6/ibm-acpi-2.6.git for-upstream/acpi-test
