Richard, Would you accept the addition of brightness_get to the led class? Please look at the first patch in this small patch set series. I need it for thinkpad-acpi... The other two patches to thinkpad-acpi are included for reference on how I intend to useg the new brightness_get stuff, and also the hardware acceleration for led flashing. While the thinkpad-acpi patches do work, it is unlikely to apply cleanly since it is from the tip of my thinkpad-acpi development tree :) They are NOT to be merged right now, I will submit them to Len Brown later, for 2.6.26. -- "One disk to rule them all, One disk to find them.
