1) Buggy firmware can change the RFKILL state by itself. This is easily
detected. The RFKILL API states that in such cases, we should call
rfkill_force_state() to notify the core.
I have reported the bug to Asus. I believe this is the right thing
to do for robustness, even if this particular firmware bug is fixed.
2) The same bug causes the wireless toggle key to be reported as 0x11
instead of 0x10. 0x11 is otherwise unused, so it should be safe to
add this as a new keycode.
The bug is triggered by removing the laptop battery while hibernated.
On resume, the wireless toggle key causes the firmware to toggle the
wireless state itself. (Also, the key is reported as 0x11 when the
current wireless state is OFF).
This is very poor behaviour because the OS can't predict whether the
firmware is controlling the RFKILL state.
Without this workaround, the bug means users have to press the wireless
toggle key twice to enable, due to the OS/firmware conflict. (Assuming
rfkill-input or equivalent is being used). The workaround avoids this.
I believe that acpid scripts which toggle the value of the sysfs state file
when the toggle key is pressed will be rendered ineffective by the bug,
regardless of this workaround. If they simply toggle the state, when the
firmware has already toggled it, then you will never see a state change.
Tested on "EEEPC 4G" only.

This maps the brightness control events to one of two keys, either
KEY_BRIGHTNESSDOWN or KEY_BRIGHTNESSUP, as needed.
Some mapping has to be done due to the fact that the BIOS reports them as
<base value> + <current brightness index>; the selection is done according to
the sign of the change in brightness (if this is 0, no keypress is reported).

When an rfkill device is registered, the rfkill core will change its
state to the system default. So we need to prepare for state changes
*before* we register it. That means installing the eeepc-specific ACPI
callback which handles the hotplug of the wireless network adaptor.
This problem doesn't occur during normal operation. You have to
1) Boot with wireless enabled. eeepc-laptop should load automatically.
2) modprobe -r eeepc-laptop
3) modprobe eeepc-laptop
On boot, the default rfkill state will be set to enabled.
With the current core code, step 2) will disable the wireless.
Therefore in step 3), the wireless will change state during registration,
from disabled to enabled. But without this fix, the PCI device for the
wireless adaptor will not appear.

The Eee implements rfkill by logically unplugging the wireless card from the
PCI bus. Despite sending ACPI notifications, this does not appear to be
implemented using standard ACPI hotplug - nor does the firmware provide the
_OSC method required to support native PCIe hotplug. The only sensible choice
appears to be to handle the hotplugging directly in the eeepc-laptop driver.
Tested successfully on a 700, 900 and 901.

Although rfkill support for the EEE bluetooth device has been added to
2.6.28-rc the appropriate ACPI accessor definitions were not added, so
the support was non functional. The patch below adds the get and set
accessors and has been verified to work on an EEE 901.

Move x86 platform specific drivers from drivers/misc/
to a new home under drivers/platform/x86/.
The community has been maintaining x86 vendor-specific
platform specific drivers under /drivers/misc/ for a few years.
The oldest ones started life under drivers/acpi.
They moved out of drivers/acpi/ because they don't actually
implement the ACPI specification, but either simply
use ACPI, or implement vendor-specific ACPI extensions.
In the future we anticipate...
drivers/misc/ will go away.
other architectures will create drivers/platform/<arch>
