There is more brewing here (i.e. ALS for which for now sysfs files will be added as platform attrbutes of the driver and mostly rework of the code to make it cleaner) but I wanted to start getting this out to hopefully give it some broader testing. Hopefully in patch 8 I gave sufficient attribution to Javier and Marco who kindly figured most of the details to use the new backlight handlers. Let me know if there is a proper git meta-header instead. Please apply for 2.6.39, I'll send the additional patches soon. I'm also thinking it may be time to deprecate and start removing sonypi from the tree, sony-laptop is still not 100% compatible (jogdial events are half broken at least on my ancient GR and I think some very old vaio V wouldn't work properly with sony-laptop, I'll find out details) but very little is known of the SPIC device (that was driven by sonypi) and recent models have no additional functionality provided via that device. Any thoughts?
