[PATCH 0/11] sony_acpi: getting in shape for prime time

[PATCH 0/11] sony_acpi: getting in shape for prime time

[malattia]

Hello Len,

I'm sending this first batch of patches for review:

- 1 to 7 are currently present in -mm
- 8 to 10 are my local changes to have sony_acpi do something more
  interesting in recent vaios
- 11 initializes the real brightness value in the backlight props (should this
  go in the backlight class itself?).

I'll start turning /proc to platform_device in the next days.

So, let's go! Comments are very welcome. :)

[PATCH 1/11] SNC device support for Sony Vaios

[malattia]

From: Stelian Pop <stelian@popies.net>

From: Bjorn Helgaas <bjorn.helgaas@hp.com>

  Even though the devices claimed by sony_acpi.c can not be hot-plugged, the
  driver registration infrastructure allows the .add() and .remove() methods
  to be called at any time while the driver is registered.  So remove __init
  and __exit from them.

+ACPI Sony Notebook Control Driver (SNC) Readme
+----------------------------------------------
+	Copyright (C) 2004- 2005 Stelian Pop <stelian@popies.net>
+
+This mini-driver drives the ACPI SNC device present in the
+ACPI BIOS of the Sony Vaio laptops.
+
+It gives access to some extra laptop functionalities. In
+its current form, this driver is mainly useful for controlling the
+screen brightness, but it may do more in the future.
+
+You should probably start by trying the sonypi driver, and try
+sony_acpi only if sonypi doesn't work for you.
+
+Usage:
+------
+
+Loading the sony_acpi module will create a /proc/acpi/sony/
+directory populated with a couple of files.
+
+You then read/write integer values from/to those files by using
+standard UNIX tools.
+
+The files are:
+	brightness		current screen brightness
+	brightness_default	screen brightness which will be set
+				when the laptop will be rebooted
+	cdpower			power on/off the internal CD drive
+
+Note that some files may be missing if they are not supported
+by your particular laptop model.
+
+Example usage:
+	# echo "1" > /proc/acpi/sony/brightness
+sets the lowest screen brightness,
+	# echo "8" > /proc/acpi/sony/brightness
+sets the highest screen brightness,
+	# cat /proc/acpi/sony/brightness
+retrieves the current screen brightness.
+
+Development:
+------------
+
+If you want to help with the development of this driver (and
+you are not afraid of any side effects doing strange things with
+your ACPI BIOS could have on your laptop), load the driver and
+pass the option 'debug=1'.
+
+REPEAT: DON'T DO THIS IF YOU DON'T LIKE RISKY BUSINESS.
+
+In your kernel logs you will find the list of all ACPI methods
+the SNC device has on your laptop. You can see the GBRT/SBRT methods
+used to get/set the brightness, but there are others.
+
+I HAVE NO IDEA WHAT THOSE METHODS DO.
+
+The sony_acpi driver creates, for some of those methods (the most
+current ones found on several Vaio models), an entry under
+/proc/acpi/sony/, just like the 'brightness' one. You can create
+other entries corresponding to your own laptop methods by further
+editing the source (see the 'sony_acpi_values' table, and add a new
+structure to this table with your get/set method names).
+
+Your mission, should you accept it, is to try finding out what
+those entries are for, by reading/writing random values from/to those
+files and find out what is the impact on your laptop.
+
+Should you find anything interesting, please report it back to me,
+I will not disavow all knowledge of your actions :)
+
+Bugs/Limitations:
+-----------------
+
+* This driver is not based on official documentation from Sony
+  (because there is none), so there is no guarantee this driver
+  will work at all, or do the right thing. Although this hasn't
+  happened to me, this driver could do very bad things to your
+  laptop, including permanent damage.
+
+* The sony_acpi and sonypi drivers do not interact at all. In the
+  future, sonypi could use sony_acpi to do (part of) its business.
+
+* spicctrl, which is the userspace tool used to communicate with the
+  sonypi driver (through /dev/sonypi) does not try to use the
+  sony_acpi driver. In the future, spicctrl could try sonypi first,
+  and if it isn't present, try sony_acpi instead.

[PATCH 4/11] Add backlight support to the sony_acpi

[malattia]

From: Alessandro Guido <alessandro.guido@gmail.com>

Make the sony_acpi use the backlight subsystem to adjust brightness value
instead of using the /proc/sony/brightness file.  (Other settings will
still have a /proc/sony/...  entry)

Ok, this one is at wrong and incomplete (the error exit path is missing
the backlight device unregistration).

Will resend a correct patch later.

[PATCH 0/11] sony_acpi: prepare for prime time (resend)

[malattia]

Hello again,

as said the following patchset starts to take care of sony_acpi:
1 to 7	are currently in -mm
8 to 10	are my local changes to make sony_acpi make some more interesting
	things on recent vaios
11	initializes the real brightness value in the backlight props (should
	this go in the backlight class itself?) and fixes the error exit path
	for the backlight_device registration

will follow shortly with a patch that makes sony_acpi a platform device driver.

[PATCH 1/11] SNC device support for Sony Vaios

[malattia]

From: Stelian Pop <stelian@popies.net>

From: Bjorn Helgaas <bjorn.helgaas@hp.com>

  Even though the devices claimed by sony_acpi.c can not be hot-plugged, the
  driver registration infrastructure allows the .add() and .remove() methods
  to be called at any time while the driver is registered.  So remove __init
  and __exit from them.

+ACPI Sony Notebook Control Driver (SNC) Readme
+----------------------------------------------
+	Copyright (C) 2004- 2005 Stelian Pop <stelian@popies.net>
+
+This mini-driver drives the ACPI SNC device present in the
+ACPI BIOS of the Sony Vaio laptops.
+
+It gives access to some extra laptop functionalities. In
+its current form, this driver is mainly useful for controlling the
+screen brightness, but it may do more in the future.
+
+You should probably start by trying the sonypi driver, and try
+sony_acpi only if sonypi doesn't work for you.
+
+Usage:
+------
+
+Loading the sony_acpi module will create a /proc/acpi/sony/
+directory populated with a couple of files.
+
+You then read/write integer values from/to those files by using
+standard UNIX tools.
+
+The files are:
+	brightness		current screen brightness
+	brightness_default	screen brightness which will be set
+				when the laptop will be rebooted
+	cdpower			power on/off the internal CD drive
+
+Note that some files may be missing if they are not supported
+by your particular laptop model.
+
+Example usage:
+	# echo "1" > /proc/acpi/sony/brightness
+sets the lowest screen brightness,
+	# echo "8" > /proc/acpi/sony/brightness
+sets the highest screen brightness,
+	# cat /proc/acpi/sony/brightness
+retrieves the current screen brightness.
+
+Development:
+------------
+
+If you want to help with the development of this driver (and
+you are not afraid of any side effects doing strange things with
+your ACPI BIOS could have on your laptop), load the driver and
+pass the option 'debug=1'.
+
+REPEAT: DON'T DO THIS IF YOU DON'T LIKE RISKY BUSINESS.
+
+In your kernel logs you will find the list of all ACPI methods
+the SNC device has on your laptop. You can see the GBRT/SBRT methods
+used to get/set the brightness, but there are others.
+
+I HAVE NO IDEA WHAT THOSE METHODS DO.
+
+The sony_acpi driver creates, for some of those methods (the most
+current ones found on several Vaio models), an entry under
+/proc/acpi/sony/, just like the 'brightness' one. You can create
+other entries corresponding to your own laptop methods by further
+editing the source (see the 'sony_acpi_values' table, and add a new
+structure to this table with your get/set method names).
+
+Your mission, should you accept it, is to try finding out what
+those entries are for, by reading/writing random values from/to those
+files and find out what is the impact on your laptop.
+
+Should you find anything interesting, please report it back to me,
+I will not disavow all knowledge of your actions :)
+
+Bugs/Limitations:
+-----------------
+
+* This driver is not based on official documentation from Sony
+  (because there is none), so there is no guarantee this driver
+  will work at all, or do the right thing. Although this hasn't
+  happened to me, this driver could do very bad things to your
+  laptop, including permanent damage.
+
+* The sony_acpi and sonypi drivers do not interact at all. In the
+  future, sonypi could use sony_acpi to do (part of) its business.
+
+* spicctrl, which is the userspace tool used to communicate with the
+  sonypi driver (through /dev/sonypi) does not try to use the
+  sony_acpi driver. In the future, spicctrl could try sonypi first,
+  and if it isn't present, try sony_acpi instead.

[PATCH 4/11] Add backlight support to the sony_acpi

[malattia]

From: Alessandro Guido <alessandro.guido@gmail.com>

Make the sony_acpi use the backlight subsystem to adjust brightness value
instead of using the /proc/sony/brightness file.  (Other settings will
still have a /proc/sony/...  entry)
