Hello,
this set of patches aims to reorganize and clean the driver code where
necessary [patches 1-9, 13], improve some functionalities [patches
10-12] and add some others present on recent Vaios (TT, Y1, Z1, F1, S1,
SA/SB/SC, CA/SB and possibly others), such as ALS driven backlight
control, HDD shock protection control and Battery charge control.
During the development of these patches a long list of new handles has
been found and analyzed (the list can be read here:
http://absence.it/vaio-acpi/handles_list.txt), many of them are now well
known and mostly implemented by patches from 14 to 24.
During the development, this code has been made publicly available for a
few months at http://code.google.com/p/vaio-f11-linux/issues/detail?id=6
and http://www.absence.it/vaio-acpi/source/ where many people
contributed with feedback and testing. The coded is now stable and well
tested, even though improvements are still possible (and can be
introduced later).
Some functionalities may require a userspace Vaio specific daemon (for
ALS based backlight control, visual notifications, etc.), which is under
development at http://git.zx2c4.com/sony-acpid/
All the code is written by me, with the exception of patch #23, written
by me and Javier Achirica. Javier Achirica has been also a major
contributor in the analysis of the ALS part (patch #23) and the
"HighSpeed Charging" functionality (patch #18).
The patches are also available here:
