This patch series contains the ibm-acpi devel queue for 2006-11-25.
Please merge for acpi-test.

Patch 1 fixes sub-driver naming so that it doesn't get in the way of
a ACPI sysfs conversion work.

Patch 2 just does some Lindent housekeeping work, as Len said he likes
code to be as Lindent-clean as possible.

Patches 3-5 extend thermal support for the new thinkpads, and updates
thermal docs.

Patches 6-13 extend fan support for new thinkpads, so people will stop
using ecdump to directly modify EC registers ;-)

Patches 14-15 implement a work-around for a bug in the EC firmware in
certain thinkpads, see
http://thinkwiki.org/wiki/Embedded_Controller_Firmware#Bug:_Fan_control_loop_status_is_not_initialized

Patch 16 adds a watchdog functionality for fan control that has been
requested by developers of userspace fan control utilities. Many
thinkpads have very annoying out-of-the-box fan behaviour, so userspace
fan control is quite widespread among T4x owners, for example.

Patch 17 adds support for SATA ultrabay (advanced ultrabay), found in
*60 and *61 x/t/z-series.

Patch 18 makes ibm-acpi non-generic bay support optional.

Patch 19 refactors backlight support so that it is in line with
the rest of the ibm-acpi driver code.

Patches 20-21 are just housekeeping.

This patch series is available for git pull from:
git://repo.or.cz/linux-2.6/linux-acpi-2.6/ibm-acpi-2.6.git branch
for-upstream/acpi-test.
