In fact I had to expose some sysfs nodes in sony-laptop. I don't know
how other vendors implemented the ALS stuff (I suppose mostly with an hw
solution), but the software based solution from Sony is quite complex
and I don't know if it can fit in a generic interface, but we can try.
However in the meantime I cloned the (nicely working) Windows software
behavior, with the help of Javier Achirica: by means of the acpi bus and
a Vaio specific daemon (using some model specific parameters provided by
the DSDT code and the same lux-to-backlight formula used by the windows
software from Sony) we managed to have everything working and every
model supported. Ok, it not the best design (a better one may be
introduced later), but it works great and now (please consider that
older ALS equipped models are now 2 years old, so it would be good to
support them as soon as possible); many people are already happily using
this solution.
I think there will be a lot to discuss about patch #23.
