    ACPI: remove acpi_device.flags.hardware_id
    
    Every acpi_device has at least one ID (if there's no _HID or _CID, we
    give it a synthetic or default ID).  So there's no longer a need to
    check whether an ID exists; we can just use it.

    There's no need to treat _HID and _CID differently.  Keeping them in
    a single list makes code that uses the IDs a little simpler because it
    can just traverse the list rather than checking "do we have a HID?",
    "do we have any CIDs?"

Author: Bjorn Helgaas <bjorn.helgaas@xxxxxx>
Date:   Mon Sep 21 13:35:14 2009 -0600

    ACPI: make sure every acpi_device has an ID
    
    This makes sure every acpi_device has at least one ID.  If we build an
    acpi_device for a namespace node with no _HID or _CID, we sometimes
    synthesize an ID like "LNXCPU" or "LNXVIDEO".  If we don't even have
    that, give it a default "device" ID.
    
    Note that this means things like:
        /sys/devices/LNXSYSTM:00/LNXSYBUS:00/HWP0001:00/HWP0002:04/device:00
    (a PCI slot SxFy device) will have "hid" and "modprobe" entries, where
    they didn't before.  These aren't very useful (a HID of "device" doesn't
    tell you what *kind* of device it is, so it doesn't help find a driver),
    but I don't think they're harmful.

    ACPI: fix synthetic HID for \_SB_
    
    This makes \_SB_ show up as /sys/devices/LNXSYSTM:00/LNXSYBUS:00
    rather than "device:00".  This has been broken for a loooong time
    (at least since 2.6.13) because device->parent is an acpi_device
    pointer, not a handle.

    ACPI: handle re-enumeration, when acpi_devices might already exist
    
    acpi_bus_scan() traverses the namespace to enumerate devices and uses
    acpi_add_single_object() to create acpi_devices.  When the platform
    notifies us of a hot-plug event, we need to traverse part of the namespace
    again to figure out what appeared or disappeared.  (We don't yet call
    acpi_bus_scan() during hot-plug, but I plan to do that in the future.)
    
    This patch makes acpi_add_single_object() notice when we already have
    an acpi_device, so we don't need to make a new one.

    ACPI: factor out device type and status checking
    
    This patch adds acpi_bus_type_and_status(), which determines the type
    of the object and whether we want to build an acpi_device for it.  If
    it is acpi_device-worthy, it returns the type and the device's current
    status.

    ACPI: add acpi_bus_get_status_handle()
    
    Add acpi_bus_get_status_handle() so we can get the status of a namespace
    object before building a struct acpi_device.
    
    This removes a use of "device->flags.dynamic_status", a cached indicator of
    whether _STA exists.  It seems simpler and more reliable to just evaluate
    _STA and catch AE_NOT_FOUND errors.

    ACPI: use acpi_walk_namespace() to enumerate devices
    
    acpi_bus_scan() currently walks the namespace manually.  This patch changes
    it to use acpi_walk_namespace() instead.
    
    Besides removing some complicated code, this means we take advantage of the
    namespace locking done by acpi_walk_namespace().  The locking isn't so
    important at boot-time, but I hope to eventually use this same path to
    handle hot-addition of devices, when it will be important.
    
    Note that acpi_walk_namespace() does not actually visit the starting node
    first, so we need to do that by hand first.

    ACPI: identify device tree root by null parent pointer, not ACPI_BUS_TYPE
    
    We can identify the root of the ACPI device tree by the fact that it
    has no parent.  This is simpler than passing around ACPI_BUS_TYPE_SYSTEM
    and will help remove special treatment of the device tree root.
    
    Currently, we add the root by hand with ACPI_BUS_TYPE_SYSTEM.  If we
    traverse the tree treating the root as just another device and use
    acpi_get_type(), the root shows up as ACPI_TYPE_DEVICE.

    ACPI: enumerate namespace before adding functional fixed hardware devices
    
    This patch changes the order so we enumerate in the "root, namespace,
    functional fixed" order instead of the "root, functional fixed, namespace"
    order.  When I change acpi_bus_scan() to use acpi_walk_namespace(), it
    will use the former order, so this patch isolates the order change for
    bisectability.

    ACPI: convert acpi_bus_scan() to operate on an acpi_handle
    
    This patch changes acpi_bus_scan() to take an acpi_handle rather than an
    acpi_device pointer.  I plan to use acpi_bus_scan() in the hotplug path,
    and I'd rather not assume that notifications only go to nodes that already
    have acpi_devices.
    
    This will also help remove the special case for adding the root node.  We
    currently add the root by hand before acpi_bus_scan(), but using a handle
    here means we can start the acpi_bus_scan() directly with the root even
    though it doesn't have an acpi_device yet.
    
    Note that acpi_bus_scan() currently adds and/or starts the *children* of
    its device argument.  It doesn't do anything with the device itself.

    This patch adds acpi_bus_get_parent(), which ascends the namespace until

    Then we use acpi_bus_get_parent() in acpi_add_single_object(), so callers
    don't have to figure out or keep track of the parent acpi_device.

    ACPICA: fixup after acpi_get_object_info() change
    
    Commit 15b8dd53f5ffa changed info->hardware_id from a static array to
    a pointer.  If hardware_id is non-NULL, it points to a NULL-terminated
    string, so we don't need to terminate it explicitly.  However, it may
    be NULL; in that case, we *can't* add a NULL terminator.
    
    This causes a NULL pointer dereference oops for devices without _HID.

    subdrivers.

    thinkpad-acpi: hotkey event driver update
    
    Update the HKEY event driver to:
    
    1. Handle better the second-gen firmware, which has no HKEY mask
       support but does report FN+F3, FN+F4 and FN+F12 without the need
       for NVRAM polling.
    
       a) always make the mask-related attributes available in sysfs;
       b) use DMI quirks to detect the second-gen firmware;
       c) properly report that FN+F3, FN+F4 and FN+F12 are enabled,
          and available even on mask-less second-gen firmware;
    
    2. Decouple the issuing of hotkey events towards userspace from
       their reception from the firmware.  ALSA mixer and brightness
       event reporting support will need this feature.
    
    3. Clean up the mess in the hotkey driver a great deal.  It is
       still very convoluted, and wants a full refactoring into a
       proper event API interface, but that is not going to happen
       today.
    
    4. Fully reset firmware interface on resume (restore hotkey
       mask and status).
    
    5. Stop losing polled events for no good reason when changing the
       mask and poll frequencies.  We will still lose them when the
       hotkey_source_mask is changed, as well as any that happened
       between driver suspend and driver resume.
    
    The hotkey subdriver now has the notion of user-space-visible hotkey
    event mask, as well as of the set of "hotkey" events the driver needs
    (because brightness/volume change reports are not just keypress
    reports in most ThinkPad models).
    
    With this rewrite, the ABI level is bumped to 0x020500 should
    userspace need to know it is dealing with the updated hotkey
    subdriver.

    thinkpad-acpi: drop HKEY event 0x5010
    
    HKEY event 0x5010 is useless to us: old ThinkPads don't issue it.  Newer
    ThinkPads won't issue it anymore.  And all ThinkPads issue 0x1010 and
    0x1011 events.
    
    Just silently drop it instead of sending it to userspace.

    thinkpad-acpi: remove uneeded tp_features.hotkey tests in hotkey_exit
    
    hotkey_exit() is only called if hotkey_init() finished sucessfully, or
    by direct calls inside hotkey_init().  The tp_features.hotkey test is
    always true, and just adds to the confusion, remove it.  Also, avoid
    calling hotkey_mask_set() when it won't do anything useful.

    thinkpad-acpi: don't leave ERR_PTR() pointers around
    
    backlight_device_register returns ERR_PTR() in case of problems, and
    the current code would leave that ERR_PTR in ibm_backlight_device.
    
    The current code paths won't touch it in that situation, but that could
    change.  Make sure to set ibm_backlight_device to NULL in the error
    path.
