Documentation: Fix size parameter for snprintf

2014-01-02T09:47:33+00:00

cppcheck reports this error:

Documentation/laptops/hpfall.c:33]: (error)
 Dangerous usage of 'devname' (strncpy doesn't always 0-terminate it)

The terminating '\0' is needed for the global char array unload_heads_path,
so never write the last array entry (which is initially '\0').

thinkpad-acpi: Add mute and mic-mute LED functionality

2013-10-17T12:38:44+00:00

The LEDs are currently not visible to userspace, for security
reasons. They are exported through thinkpad_acpi.h for use by the
snd-hda-intel driver.

Thanks to Alex Hung  and Takashi Iwai
 for writing parts of this patch.

platform / thinkpad: Remove deprecated hotkey_report_mode parameter

2013-07-15T11:57:00+00:00

It is somewhat strange that the default value to support the
depracated interface is set (1).

Anyway this has existed for years.  The previous patch already
removed the functionality to still export events through /proc.
Now this param is useless and should vanish too.

ACPI: Remove the old /proc/acpi/event interface

2013-07-15T11:56:36+00:00

It is quite some time that this one has been deprecated.
Get rid of it.

Should some really important user be overseen, it may be reverted and
the userspace program worked on first, but it is time to do something
to get rid of this old stuff...

Documentation/laptops: remove depends on CONFIG_EXPERIMENTAL

2013-01-21T22:52:42+00:00

The CONFIG_EXPERIMENTAL config item has not carried much meaning for a
while now and is almost always enabled by default. As agreed during the
Linux kernel summit, remove it from any "depends on" lines in Kconfigs.

The pdflush thread is long gone, however we still mention it incorrectly in the

Documentation: remove references to /etc/modprobe.conf

2012-03-30T23:03:15+00:00

Usage of /etc/modprobe.conf file was deprecated by module-init-tools and
is no longer parsed by new kmod tool. References to this file are
replaced in Documentation, comments and Kconfig according to the
context.

There are also some references to the old /etc/modules.conf from 2.4
kernels that are being removed.

platform/x86: drop deprecated asus_acpi driver

2012-03-20T16:02:18+00:00

asus_acpi only support old models, it has been deprecated since
2009 in favor of asus-laptop, it's not built by any (sane) distro,
so it is time to say good bye.

Thanks to Julien Lerouge and Karol Kozimor for the work they have
done on it, I would never have wrote asus-laptop and other asus
related drivers without asus_acpi.
