Michał Kępień 7cb8aa8caf platform/x86: msi-laptop: remove sparse_keymap_free() calls
As sparse_keymap_setup() now uses a managed memory allocation for the
keymap copy it creates, the latter is freed automatically.  Remove all
calls to sparse_keymap_free().

As this reduces msi_laptop_input_destroy() to one line, replace all
calls to that function with direct calls to input_unregister_device().

Hans de Goede 2cc6c71779 msi-laptop: Port to new backlight interface selection API
Port the backlight selection logic to the new backlight interface
selection API.

This commit also removes various obsolete pr_xxx messages related to
backlight interface selection. These are obsolete because they assume
there is only a vendor or acpi backlight driver and no other choice.
Also they are not necessary, if the user wants to know which backlight
interfaces are registered a simple "ls /sys/class/backlight" suffices.

Instead of using a magic constant 0x20 in some drivers to get data only
from the KBC port we should use the constant defined in i8042.h with
the same value. Also, this makes these drivers uniform with what
constant the only other filter function uses in

There have section mismatch warning message shows up when building

The problem is the load_scm_model_init() calls msi_laptop_input_setup()
which is an __init function, but load_scm_model_init() lacks a __init
annotation.

This patch add __init on load_scm_model_init() to avoid warning message.

Lee, Chun-Yi 143a4c0284 msi-laptop: send out touchpad on/off key
MSI BIOS's raw behavior is send out KEY_TOUCHPAD_TOGGLE key when user

Actually, we can capture the real touchpad status by read 0xE4 EC address

KEY_TOUCHPAD_ON or KEY_TOUCHPAD_OFF key when user pressed Fn+F3 touchpad
hotkey. It leave userland applications to know the real touchpad status.

Tested on MSI netbook U-100, U-115, U160(N051), U160DX, N014, N034

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>
