+
+What:	Support for lcd_switch and display_get in asus-laptop driver
+When:	March 2010
+Why:	These two features use non-standard interfaces. There are the
+	only features that really need multiple path to guess what's
+	the right method name on a specific laptop.
+
+	Removing them will allow to remove a lot of code an significantly
+	clean the drivers.
+
+	This will affect the backlight code which won't be able to know
+	if the backlight is on or off. The platform display file will also be
+	write only (like the one in eeepc-laptop).
+
+	This should'nt affect a lot of user because they usually know
+	when their display is on or off.
