Carlos Corbacho a74dd5fdab acer-wmi: Blacklist Acer Aspire One
The Aspire One's ACPI-WMI interface is a placeholder that does nothing,
and the invalid results that we get from it are now causing userspace
problems as acer-wmi always returns that the rfkill is enabled (i.e. the
radio is off, when it isn't). As it's hardware controlled, acer-wmi
isn't needed on the Aspire One either.

Thanks to Andy Whitcroft at Canonical for tracking down Ubuntu's userspace
issues to this.

Dan Carpenter 013d67fd4f acer-wmi: double free in acer_rfkill_exit()
This is acer_rfkill_exit() from drivers/platform/x86/acer-wmi.c.

The code frees wireless_rfkill->data again instead of
bluetooth_rfkill->data.

This was found using a code checker (http://repo.or.cz/w/smatch.git/).

Michael Spang 1ba869ec58 acer-wmi: fix regression in backlight detection
Currently we disable the Acer WMI backlight device if there is no ACPI
backlight device.  As a result, we end up with no backlight device at all.
 We should instead disable it if there is an ACPI device, as the other
laptop drivers do.  This regression was introduced in febf2d9 ("Acer-WMI:
fingers off backlight if video.ko is serving this functionality").

Each laptop driver with backlight support got a similar change around
febf2d9.  The changes to the other drivers look correct; see e.g.
a598c82f for a similar but correct change.  The regression is also in
2.6.28.

Len Brown 41b16dce39 create drivers/platform/x86/ from drivers/misc/
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>
