ANYWR - Another New Year WMI release Len, Can you please review at least the first two patches in this series, as I would still really like to try and get them into 2.6.25. -Carlos === Patch #1: (WMI - driver and in kernel interface) - Fix ACPI debug issues Fix the compile errors with ACPI debugging enabled. Len: For you to review, and to go upstream. ==== Patch #2: (acer-wmi) - No change Len: For you to review, and to go upstream. ==== Patch #3: (tc1100-wmi) - No Change RFC only, needs actual testing on the hardware, and probably very broken. Waiting on Matthew Garrett to get some free time to test this. ==== Patch #4: (WMI sysfs interface) - Added new in-kernel function RFC only (see patch #5 for reason and discussion). Adds interface under /sys/devices/virtual/wmi Also adds a function to return the (virtual) device associated with a GUID for use by other parts of the kernel that want to set a parent device. ==== Patch #5: (WMI sysfs workaround) - No change Temporary hack, needed to get patch #4 working, due to a limitation on bus_id length (Kay Sievers is apparently working on this, ref Greg KH[1]). Apparently, the necessary fixes _might_ go into 2.6.25 as well, or worst case scenario is 2.6.26[2]. So we can either: 1) Hold off on patch #4 until the necessary fixes go in (this might be 2.6.25 if we're lucky, or we end up putting off WMI sysfs support until 2.6.26) or 2) Apply patch #4, and #5 on top as a temporary hack, and then revert #5 as soon as the necessary changes go in. (For bisection purposes, #4 and #5 should be merged if we go ahead with this). I don't know what would be the best solution here.
