pcc stands for Panasonic Computer Company, which is exist several years
ago. This driver works on a broad range of panasonic laptops,
such as Let's note series and Tough book series.
I had discussed bios writers in the Panasonic 2 yrs ago,
they said they keeps backword compatibility for their products, at least
after CF-R1/T1/W1/Y1 toughbook/let's note series.
They will adopt new acpi specification when microsoft os adopt it.
That's why recent model, such as CF-W6/W7, can not control lcd
brightness through this driver but can through generic video
driver.
I originaly write driver in reverse engineering basis, but at that
time, bios writer provided me some specification.
