This is a driver for the Alienware X51, X51 R2 and some future HW.
- For the X51 / X51 R2 it allows control of the color and brightness
of each zone via a sysfs interface for the color and a LED interface
for the brightness
- For the future HW it allows control of color and brightness as well
as an HDMI mux that's included in the HW.
Changes from v4 to v5:
- Make zone control more like the thingm RGB LED in the kernel. Brightness
control is independent of the RGB adjustment. RGB adjustment takes a 24-bit
hexadecimal triplet.
- Introduced a new WMAX method for platforms that use HDMI as well as a new
lighting control interface. This removes the present necessity of having
to do a DMI match on HDMI for now.
- Dynamically create number of sysfs zone nodes based on DMI data. Present
platforms have 3 nodes, but some future ones will have anywhere from 2
to 32 nodes.
- Make lighting control state and HDMI more readable and usable for
interacting. Rather than having to know numbers, cat'ing the nodes will
output the available options and the presently selected option (in a
single line)
