Subject: [PATCH 0/6] I8K and Toshiba legacy driver cleanup
Date: Wed, 27 Apr 2005 01:49:13 -0500 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <200504270149.13450.dtor_core@ameritech.net> (raw)
Hi Andrew,
I have several patches cleaning up Toshiba and I8K drivers a bit and I
was wondering if you could add them to -mm. I8K patches have been sent
to LKML earlier and were tested (although I have dropped sysfs export
patch, there were some objections from Greg).
01-toshiba-cleanup
Toshiba legacy driver cleanup:
- use module_init/module_exit for initialization instead of using
#ifdef MODULE and calling tosh_init manually from drivers/char/misc.c
- do not explicitly initialize static variables
- some whitespace and formatting cleanups
02-i8k-lindent.patch
- pass through Lindent to change 4 spaces identation to TABs
03-i8k-use-dmi.patch
- Change to use stock dmi infrastructure instead of homegrown
parsing code. The driver now requires box's DMI data to match
list of supported models so driver can be safely compiled-in
by default without fear of it poking into random SMM BIOS
code. DMI checks can be ignored with i8k.ignore_dmi option.
04-i8k-seqfile.patch
- Change proc code to use seq_file.
05-i8k-cleanup.patch
- use module_{init|exit} instead of old style #ifdef MODULE
code, some formatting changes
06-i8k-new-signatures.patch
- add BIOS signatures of a newer Dell laptops, also there can be
more than one temperature sensor reported by BIOS.
Thanks!
