-
-This is a Linux driver for the IBM and Lenovo ThinkPad laptops. It
-supports various features of these laptops which are accessible
-through the ACPI and ACPI EC framework, but not otherwise fully
-supported by the generic Linux ACPI drivers.
-
-This driver used to be named ibm-acpi until kernel 2.6.21 and release
-0.13-20070314.  It used to be in the drivers/acpi tree, but it was
-moved to the drivers/misc tree and renamed to thinkpad-acpi for kernel
-2.6.22, and release 0.14.
-
-
-Status
-------
-
-The features currently supported are the following (see below for
-detailed description):
-
-   - Fn key combinations
-   - Bluetooth enable and disable
-   - video output switching, expansion control
-   - ThinkLight on and off
-   - limited docking and undocking
-   - UltraBay eject
-   - CMOS control
-   - LED control
-   - ACPI sounds
-   - temperature sensors
-   - Experimental: embedded controller register dump
-   - LCD brightness control
-   - Volume control
-   - Fan control and monitoring: fan speed, fan enable/disable
-   - Experimental: WAN enable and disable
-
-A compatibility table by model and feature is maintained on the web
-site, http://ibm-acpi.sf.net/. I appreciate any success or failure
-reports, especially if they add to or correct the compatibility table.
-Please include the following information in your report:
-
-   - ThinkPad model name
-   - a copy of your DSDT, from /proc/acpi/dsdt
-   - a copy of the output of dmidecode, with serial numbers
-     and UUIDs masked off
-   - which driver features work and which don't
-   - the observed behavior of non-working features
-
-Any other comments or patches are also more than welcome.
-
-
-Installation
-------------
-
-If you are compiling this driver as included in the Linux kernel
-sources, simply enable the CONFIG_THINKPAD_ACPI option, and optionally
-enable the CONFIG_THINKPAD_ACPI_BAY option if you want the
-thinkpad-specific bay functionality.
-
-Features
---------
-
-The driver exports two different interfaces to userspace, which can be
-used to access the features it provides.  One is a legacy procfs-based
-interface, which will be removed at some time in the distant future.
-The other is a new sysfs-based interface which is not complete yet.
-
-The procfs interface creates the /proc/acpi/ibm directory.  There is a
-file under that directory for each feature it supports.  The procfs
-interface is mostly frozen, and will change very little if at all: it
-will not be extended to add any new functionality in the driver, instead
-all new functionality will be implemented on the sysfs interface.
-
-The sysfs interface tries to blend in the generic Linux sysfs subsystems
-and classes as much as possible.  Since some of these subsystems are not
-yet ready or stabilized, it is expected that this interface will change,
-and any and all userspace programs must deal with it.
-
-
-Notes about the sysfs interface:
-
-Unlike what was done with the procfs interface, correctness when talking
-to the sysfs interfaces will be enforced, as will correctness in the
-thinkpad-acpi's implementation of sysfs interfaces.
-
-Also, any bugs in the thinkpad-acpi sysfs driver code or in the
-thinkpad-acpi's implementation of the sysfs interfaces will be fixed for
-maximum correctness, even if that means changing an interface in
-non-compatible ways.  As these interfaces mature both in the kernel and
-in thinkpad-acpi, such changes should become quite rare.
-
-Applications interfacing to the thinkpad-acpi sysfs interfaces must
-follow all sysfs guidelines and correctly process all errors (the sysfs
-interface makes extensive use of errors).  File descriptors and open /
-close operations to the sysfs inodes must also be properly implemented.
-
-The version of thinkpad-acpi's sysfs interface is exported by the driver
-as a driver attribute (see below).
-
-Sysfs driver attributes are on the driver's sysfs attribute space,
-for 2.6.23 this is /sys/bus/platform/drivers/thinkpad_acpi/ and
-/sys/bus/platform/drivers/thinkpad_hwmon/
-
-Sysfs device attributes are on the thinkpad_acpi device sysfs attribute
-space, for 2.6.23 this is /sys/devices/platform/thinkpad_acpi/.
-
-Sysfs device attributes for the sensors and fan are on the
-thinkpad_hwmon device's sysfs attribute space, but you should locate it
-looking for a hwmon device with the name attribute of "thinkpad".
-
-Driver version
---------------
-
-procfs: /proc/acpi/ibm/driver
-sysfs driver attribute: version
-
-The driver name and version. No commands can be written to this file.
-
-Sysfs interface version
------------------------
-
-sysfs driver attribute: interface_version
-
-Version of the thinkpad-acpi sysfs interface, as an unsigned long
-(output in hex format: 0xAAAABBCC), where:
-   AAAA - major revision
-   BB - minor revision
-   CC - bugfix revision
-
-The sysfs interface version changelog for the driver can be found at the
-end of this document.  Changes to the sysfs interface done by the kernel
-subsystems are not documented here, nor are they tracked by this
-attribute.
-
-Changes to the thinkpad-acpi sysfs interface are only considered
-non-experimental when they are submitted to Linux mainline, at which
-point the changes in this interface are documented and interface_version
-may be updated.  If you are using any thinkpad-acpi features not yet
-sent to mainline for merging, you do so on your own risk: these features
-may disappear, or be implemented in a different and incompatible way by
-the time they are merged in Linux mainline.
-
-Changes that are backwards-compatible by nature (e.g. the addition of
-attributes that do not change the way the other attributes work) do not
-always warrant an update of interface_version.  Therefore, one must
-expect that an attribute might not be there, and deal with it properly
-(an attribute not being there *is* a valid way to make it clear that a
-feature is not available in sysfs).
-
-Hot keys
---------
-
-procfs: /proc/acpi/ibm/hotkey
-sysfs device attribute: hotkey_*
-
-In a ThinkPad, the ACPI HKEY handler is responsible for comunicating
-some important events and also keyboard hot key presses to the operating
-system.  Enabling the hotkey functionality of thinkpad-acpi signals the
-firmware that such a driver is present, and modifies how the ThinkPad
-firmware will behave in many situations.
-
-The driver enables the hot key feature automatically when loaded.  The
-feature can later be disabled and enabled back at runtime.  The driver
-will also restore the hot key feature to its previous state and mask
-when it is unloaded.
-
-When the hotkey feature is enabled and the hot key mask is set (see
-below), the driver will report HKEY events in the following format:
-
-   ibm/hotkey HKEY 00000080 0000xxxx
-
-Some of these events refer to hot key presses, but not all.
-
-The driver will generate events over the input layer for hot keys and
-radio switches, and over the ACPI netlink layer for other events.  The
-input layer support accepts the standard IOCTLs to remap the keycodes
-assigned to each hot key.
-
-The hot key bit mask allows some control over which hot keys generate
-events.  If a key is "masked" (bit set to 0 in the mask), the firmware
-will handle it.  If it is "unmasked", it signals the firmware that
-thinkpad-acpi would prefer to handle it, if the firmware would be so
-kind to allow it (and it often doesn't!).
-
-Not all bits in the mask can be modified.  Not all bits that can be
-modified do anything.  Not all hot keys can be individually controlled
-by the mask.  Some models do not support the mask at all, and in those
-models, hot keys cannot be controlled individually.  The behaviour of
-the mask is, therefore, higly dependent on the ThinkPad model.
-
-Note that unmasking some keys prevents their default behavior.  For
-example, if Fn+F5 is unmasked, that key will no longer enable/disable
-Bluetooth by itself.
-
-Note also that not all Fn key combinations are supported through ACPI.
-For example, on the X40, the brightness, volume and "Access IBM" buttons
-do not generate ACPI events even with this driver.  They *can* be used
-through the "ThinkPad Buttons" utility, see http://www.nongnu.org/tpb/
-
-procfs notes:
-
-The following commands can be written to the /proc/acpi/ibm/hotkey file:
-
-   echo enable > /proc/acpi/ibm/hotkey -- enable the hot keys feature
-   echo disable > /proc/acpi/ibm/hotkey -- disable the hot keys feature
-   echo 0xffffffff > /proc/acpi/ibm/hotkey -- enable all hot keys
-   echo 0 > /proc/acpi/ibm/hotkey -- disable all possible hot keys
-   ... any other 8-hex-digit mask ...
-   echo reset > /proc/acpi/ibm/hotkey -- restore the original mask
-
-sysfs notes:
-
-   hotkey_bios_enabled:
-      Returns the status of the hot keys feature when
-      thinkpad-acpi was loaded.  Upon module unload, the hot
-      key feature status will be restored to this value.
-
-      0: hot keys were disabled
-      1: hot keys were enabled (unusual)
-
-   hotkey_bios_mask:
-      Returns the hot keys mask when thinkpad-acpi was loaded.
-      Upon module unload, the hot keys mask will be restored
-      to this value.
-
-   hotkey_enable:
-      Enables/disables the hot keys feature, and reports
-      current status of the hot keys feature.
-
-      0: disables the hot keys feature / feature disabled
-      1: enables the hot keys feature / feature enabled
-
-   hotkey_mask:
-      bit mask to enable driver-handling and ACPI event
-      generation for each hot key (see above).  Returns the
-      current status of the hot keys mask, and allows one to
-      modify it.
-
-   hotkey_all_mask:
-      bit mask that should enable event reporting for all
-      supported hot keys, when echoed to hotkey_mask above.
-      Unless you know which events need to be handled
-      passively (because the firmware *will* handle them
-      anyway), do *not* use hotkey_all_mask.  Use
-      hotkey_recommended_mask, instead. You have been warned.
-
-   hotkey_recommended_mask:
-      bit mask that should enable event reporting for all
-      supported hot keys, except those which are always
-      handled by the firmware anyway.  Echo it to
-      hotkey_mask above, to use.
-
-   hotkey_radio_sw:
-      if the ThinkPad has a hardware radio switch, this
-      attribute will read 0 if the switch is in the "radios
-      disabled" postition, and 1 if the switch is in the
-      "radios enabled" position.
-
-   hotkey_report_mode:
-      Returns the state of the procfs ACPI event report mode
-      filter for hot keys.  If it is set to 1 (the default),
-      all hot key presses are reported both through the input
-      layer and also as ACPI events through procfs (but not
-      through netlink).  If it is set to 2, hot key presses
-      are reported only through the input layer.
-
-      This attribute is read-only in kernels 2.6.23 or later,
-      and read-write on earlier kernels.
-
-      May return -EPERM (write access locked out by module
-      parameter) or -EACCES (read-only).
-
-input layer notes:
-
-A Hot key is mapped to a single input layer EV_KEY event, possibly
-followed by an EV_MSC MSC_SCAN event that shall contain that key's scan
-code.  An EV_SYN event will always be generated to mark the end of the
-event block.
-
-Do not use the EV_MSC MSC_SCAN events to process keys.  They are to be
-used as a helper to remap keys, only.  They are particularly useful when
-remapping KEY_UNKNOWN keys.
-
-The events are available in an input device, with the following id:
-
-   Bus:      BUS_HOST
-   vendor:      0x1014 (PCI_VENDOR_ID_IBM)  or
-         0x17aa (PCI_VENDOR_ID_LENOVO)
-   product:   0x5054 ("TP")
-   version:   0x4101
-
-The version will have its LSB incremented if the keymap changes in a
-backwards-compatible way.  The MSB shall always be 0x41 for this input
-device.  If the MSB is not 0x41, do not use the device as described in
-this section, as it is either something else (e.g. another input device
-exported by a thinkpad driver, such as HDAPS) or its functionality has
-been changed in a non-backwards compatible way.
-
-Adding other event types for other functionalities shall be considered a
-backwards-compatible change for this input device.

-
-The ThinkPad firmware does not allow one to differentiate when most hot
-keys are pressed or released (either that, or we don't know how to, yet).
-For these keys, the driver generates a set of events for a key press and
-immediately issues the same set of events for a key release.  It is
-unknown by the driver if the ThinkPad firmware triggered these events on
-hot key press or release, but the firmware will do it for either one, not
-both.
-
-If a key is mapped to KEY_RESERVED, it generates no input events at all.
-If a key is mapped to KEY_UNKNOWN, it generates an input event that
-includes an scan code.  If a key is mapped to anything else, it will
-generate input device EV_KEY events.
-
-Non hot-key ACPI HKEY event map:
-0x5001      Lid closed
-0x5002      Lid opened
-0x7000      Radio Switch may have changed state
-
-The above events are not propagated by the driver, except for legacy
-compatibility purposes when hotkey_report_mode is set to 1.
-
-Compatibility notes:
-
-ibm-acpi and thinkpad-acpi 0.15 (mainline kernels before 2.6.23) never
-supported the input layer, and sent events over the procfs ACPI event
-interface.
-
-To avoid sending duplicate events over the input layer and the ACPI
-event interface, thinkpad-acpi 0.16 implements a module parameter
-(hotkey_report_mode), and also a sysfs device attribute with the same
-name.
-
-Make no mistake here: userspace is expected to switch to using the input
-layer interface of thinkpad-acpi, together with the ACPI netlink event
-interface in kernels 2.6.23 and later, or with the ACPI procfs event
-interface in kernels 2.6.22 and earlier.
-
-If no hotkey_report_mode module parameter is specified (or it is set to
-zero), the driver defaults to mode 1 (see below), and on kernels 2.6.22
-and earlier, also allows one to change the hotkey_report_mode through
-sysfs.  In kernels 2.6.23 and later, where the netlink ACPI event
-interface is available, hotkey_report_mode cannot be changed through
-sysfs (it is read-only).
-
-If the hotkey_report_mode module parameter is set to 1 or 2, it cannot
-be changed later through sysfs (any writes will return -EPERM to signal
-that hotkey_report_mode was locked.  On 2.6.23 and later, where
-hotkey_report_mode cannot be changed at all, writes will return -EACES).
-
-hotkey_report_mode set to 1 makes the driver export through the procfs
-ACPI event interface all hot key presses (which are *also* sent to the
-input layer).  This is a legacy compatibility behaviour, and it is also
-the default mode of operation for the driver.
-
-hotkey_report_mode set to 2 makes the driver filter out the hot key
-presses from the procfs ACPI event interface, so these events will only
-be sent through the input layer.  Userspace that has been updated to use
-the thinkpad-acpi input layer interface should set hotkey_report_mode to
-2.
-
-Hot key press events are never sent to the ACPI netlink event interface.
-Really up-to-date userspace under kernel 2.6.23 and later is to use the
-netlink interface and the input layer interface, and don't bother at all
-with hotkey_report_mode.
-
-
-Bluetooth
----------
-
-procfs: /proc/acpi/ibm/bluetooth
-sysfs device attribute: bluetooth_enable
-
-This feature shows the presence and current state of a ThinkPad
-Bluetooth device in the internal ThinkPad CDC slot.
-
-Procfs notes:
-
-If Bluetooth is installed, the following commands can be used:
-
-   echo enable > /proc/acpi/ibm/bluetooth
-   echo disable > /proc/acpi/ibm/bluetooth
-
-Sysfs notes:
-
-   If the Bluetooth CDC card is installed, it can be enabled /
-   disabled through the "bluetooth_enable" thinkpad-acpi device
-   attribute, and its current status can also be queried.
-
-   enable:
-      0: disables Bluetooth / Bluetooth is disabled
-      1: enables Bluetooth / Bluetooth is enabled.
-
-   Note: this interface will be probably be superseeded by the
-   generic rfkill class, so it is NOT to be considered stable yet.
-
-Video output control -- /proc/acpi/ibm/video
---------------------------------------------
-
-This feature allows control over the devices used for video output -
-LCD, CRT or DVI (if available). The following commands are available:
-
-   echo lcd_enable > /proc/acpi/ibm/video
-   echo lcd_disable > /proc/acpi/ibm/video
-   echo crt_enable > /proc/acpi/ibm/video
-   echo crt_disable > /proc/acpi/ibm/video
-   echo dvi_enable > /proc/acpi/ibm/video
-   echo dvi_disable > /proc/acpi/ibm/video
-   echo auto_enable > /proc/acpi/ibm/video
-   echo auto_disable > /proc/acpi/ibm/video
-   echo expand_toggle > /proc/acpi/ibm/video
-   echo video_switch > /proc/acpi/ibm/video
-
-Each video output device can be enabled or disabled individually.
-Reading /proc/acpi/ibm/video shows the status of each device.
-
-Automatic video switching can be enabled or disabled.  When automatic
-video switching is enabled, certain events (e.g. opening the lid,
-docking or undocking) cause the video output device to change
-automatically. While this can be useful, it also causes flickering
-and, on the X40, video corruption. By disabling automatic switching,
-the flickering or video corruption can be avoided.
-
-The video_switch command cycles through the available video outputs
-(it simulates the behavior of Fn-F7).
-
-Video expansion can be toggled through this feature. This controls
-whether the display is expanded to fill the entire LCD screen when a
-mode with less than full resolution is used. Note that the current
-video expansion status cannot be determined through this feature.
-
-Note that on many models (particularly those using Radeon graphics
-chips) the X driver configures the video card in a way which prevents
-Fn-F7 from working. This also disables the video output switching
-features of this driver, as it uses the same ACPI methods as
-Fn-F7. Video switching on the console should still work.
-
-UPDATE: There's now a patch for the X.org Radeon driver which
-addresses this issue. Some people are reporting success with the patch

-
-ThinkLight control -- /proc/acpi/ibm/light
-------------------------------------------
-
-The current status of the ThinkLight can be found in this file. A few
-models which do not make the status available will show it as
-"unknown". The available commands are:
-
-   echo on  > /proc/acpi/ibm/light
-   echo off > /proc/acpi/ibm/light
-
-Docking / undocking -- /proc/acpi/ibm/dock
-------------------------------------------
-
-Docking and undocking (e.g. with the X4 UltraBase) requires some
-actions to be taken by the operating system to safely make or break
-the electrical connections with the dock.
-
-The docking feature of this driver generates the following ACPI events:
-
-   ibm/dock GDCK 00000003 00000001 -- eject request
-   ibm/dock GDCK 00000003 00000002 -- undocked
-   ibm/dock GDCK 00000000 00000003 -- docked
-
-NOTE: These events will only be generated if the laptop was docked
-when originally booted. This is due to the current lack of support for
-hot plugging of devices in the Linux ACPI framework. If the laptop was
-booted while not in the dock, the following message is shown in the
-logs:
-
-   Mar 17 01:42:34 aero kernel: thinkpad_acpi: dock device not present
-
-In this case, no dock-related events are generated but the dock and
-undock commands described below still work. They can be executed
-manually or triggered by Fn key combinations (see the example acpid
-configuration files included in the driver tarball package available
-on the web site).
-
-When the eject request button on the dock is pressed, the first event
-above is generated. The handler for this event should issue the
-following command:
-
-   echo undock > /proc/acpi/ibm/dock
-
-After the LED on the dock goes off, it is safe to eject the laptop.
-Note: if you pressed this key by mistake, go ahead and eject the
-laptop, then dock it back in. Otherwise, the dock may not function as
-expected.
-
-When the laptop is docked, the third event above is generated. The
-handler for this event should issue the following command to fully
-enable the dock:
-
-   echo dock > /proc/acpi/ibm/dock
-
-The contents of the /proc/acpi/ibm/dock file shows the current status
-of the dock, as provided by the ACPI framework.
-
-The docking support in this driver does not take care of enabling or
-disabling any other devices you may have attached to the dock. For
-example, a CD drive plugged into the UltraBase needs to be disabled or
-enabled separately. See the provided example acpid configuration files
-for how this can be accomplished.
-
-There is no support yet for PCI devices that may be attached to a
-docking station, e.g. in the ThinkPad Dock II. The driver currently
-does not recognize, enable or disable such devices. This means that
-the only docking stations currently supported are the X-series
-UltraBase docks and "dumb" port replicators like the Mini Dock (the
-latter don't need any ACPI support, actually).
-
-UltraBay eject -- /proc/acpi/ibm/bay
-------------------------------------
-
-Inserting or ejecting an UltraBay device requires some actions to be
-taken by the operating system to safely make or break the electrical
-connections with the device.
-
-This feature generates the following ACPI events:
-
-   ibm/bay MSTR 00000003 00000000 -- eject request
-   ibm/bay MSTR 00000001 00000000 -- eject lever inserted
-
-NOTE: These events will only be generated if the UltraBay was present
-when the laptop was originally booted (on the X series, the UltraBay
-is in the dock, so it may not be present if the laptop was undocked).
-This is due to the current lack of support for hot plugging of devices
-in the Linux ACPI framework. If the laptop was booted without the
-UltraBay, the following message is shown in the logs:
-
-   Mar 17 01:42:34 aero kernel: thinkpad_acpi: bay device not present
-
-In this case, no bay-related events are generated but the eject
-command described below still works. It can be executed manually or
-triggered by a hot key combination.
-
-Sliding the eject lever generates the first event shown above. The
-handler for this event should take whatever actions are necessary to
-shut down the device in the UltraBay (e.g. call idectl), then issue
-the following command:
-
-   echo eject > /proc/acpi/ibm/bay
-
-After the LED on the UltraBay goes off, it is safe to pull out the
-device.
-
-When the eject lever is inserted, the second event above is
-generated. The handler for this event should take whatever actions are
-necessary to enable the UltraBay device (e.g. call idectl).
-
-The contents of the /proc/acpi/ibm/bay file shows the current status
-of the UltraBay, as provided by the ACPI framework.
-
-EXPERIMENTAL warm eject support on the 600e/x, A22p and A3x (To use
-this feature, you need to supply the experimental=1 parameter when
-loading the module):
-
-These models do not have a button near the UltraBay device to request
-a hot eject but rather require the laptop to be put to sleep
-(suspend-to-ram) before the bay device is ejected or inserted).
-The sequence of steps to eject the device is as follows:
-
-   echo eject > /proc/acpi/ibm/bay
-   put the ThinkPad to sleep
-   remove the drive
-   resume from sleep
-   cat /proc/acpi/ibm/bay should show that the drive was removed
-
-On the A3x, both the UltraBay 2000 and UltraBay Plus devices are
-supported. Use "eject2" instead of "eject" for the second bay.
-
-Note: the UltraBay eject support on the 600e/x, A22p and A3x is
-EXPERIMENTAL and may not work as expected. USE WITH CAUTION!
-
-CMOS control
-------------
-
-procfs: /proc/acpi/ibm/cmos
-sysfs device attribute: cmos_command
-
-This feature is mostly used internally by the ACPI firmware to keep the legacy
-CMOS NVRAM bits in sync with the current machine state, and to record this
-state so that the ThinkPad will retain such settings across reboots.
-
-Some of these commands actually perform actions in some ThinkPad models, but
-this is expected to disappear more and more in newer models.  As an example, in
-a T43 and in a X40, commands 12 and 13 still control the ThinkLight state for
-real, but commands 0 to 2 don't control the mixer anymore (they have been
-phased out) and just update the NVRAM.
-
-The range of valid cmos command numbers is 0 to 21, but not all have an
-effect and the behavior varies from model to model.  Here is the behavior
-on the X40 (tpb is the ThinkPad Buttons utility):
-
-   0 - Related to "Volume down" key press
-   1 - Related to "Volume up" key press
-   2 - Related to "Mute on" key press
-   3 - Related to "Access IBM" key press
-   4 - Related to "LCD brightness up" key pess
-   5 - Related to "LCD brightness down" key press
-   11 - Related to "toggle screen expansion" key press/function
-   12 - Related to "ThinkLight on"
-   13 - Related to "ThinkLight off"
-   14 - Related to "ThinkLight" key press (toggle thinklight)
-
-The cmos command interface is prone to firmware split-brain problems, as
-in newer ThinkPads it is just a compatibility layer.  Do not use it, it is
-exported just as a debug tool.
-
-LED control -- /proc/acpi/ibm/led
----------------------------------
-
-Some of the LED indicators can be controlled through this feature. The
-available commands are:
-
-   echo '<led number> on' >/proc/acpi/ibm/led
-   echo '<led number> off' >/proc/acpi/ibm/led
-   echo '<led number> blink' >/proc/acpi/ibm/led
-
-The <led number> range is 0 to 7. The set of LEDs that can be
-controlled varies from model to model. Here is the mapping on the X40:
-
-   0 - power
-   1 - battery (orange)
-   2 - battery (green)
-   3 - UltraBase
-   4 - UltraBay
-   7 - standby
-
-All of the above can be turned on and off and can be made to blink.
-
-ACPI sounds -- /proc/acpi/ibm/beep
-----------------------------------
-
-The BEEP method is used internally by the ACPI firmware to provide
-audible alerts in various situations. This feature allows the same
-sounds to be triggered manually.
-
-The commands are non-negative integer numbers:
-
-   echo <number> >/proc/acpi/ibm/beep
-
-The valid <number> range is 0 to 17. Not all numbers trigger sounds
-and the sounds vary from model to model. Here is the behavior on the
-X40:
-
-   0 - stop a sound in progress (but use 17 to stop 16)
-   2 - two beeps, pause, third beep ("low battery")
-   3 - single beep
-   4 - high, followed by low-pitched beep ("unable")
-   5 - single beep
-   6 - very high, followed by high-pitched beep ("AC/DC")
-   7 - high-pitched beep
-   9 - three short beeps
-   10 - very long beep
-   12 - low-pitched beep
-   15 - three high-pitched beeps repeating constantly, stop with 0
-   16 - one medium-pitched beep repeating constantly, stop with 17
-   17 - stop 16
-
-Temperature sensors
--------------------
-
-procfs: /proc/acpi/ibm/thermal
-sysfs device attributes: (hwmon "thinkpad") temp*_input
-
-Most ThinkPads include six or more separate temperature sensors but only
-expose the CPU temperature through the standard ACPI methods.  This
-feature shows readings from up to eight different sensors on older
-ThinkPads, and up to sixteen different sensors on newer ThinkPads.
-
-For example, on the X40, a typical output may be:
-temperatures:   42 42 45 41 36 -128 33 -128
-
-On the T43/p, a typical output may be:
-temperatures:   48 48 36 52 38 -128 31 -128 48 52 48 -128 -128 -128 -128 -128
-
-The mapping of thermal sensors to physical locations varies depending on
-system-board model (and thus, on ThinkPad model).
-
-http://thinkwiki.org/wiki/Thermal_Sensors is a public wiki page that
-tries to track down these locations for various models.
-
-Most (newer?) models seem to follow this pattern:
-
-1:  CPU
-2:  (depends on model)
-3:  (depends on model)
-4:  GPU
-5:  Main battery: main sensor
-6:  Bay battery: main sensor
-7:  Main battery: secondary sensor
-8:  Bay battery: secondary sensor
-9-15: (depends on model)
-
-For the R51 (source: Thomas Gruber):
-2:  Mini-PCI
-3:  Internal HDD
-
-For the T43, T43/p (source: Shmidoax/Thinkwiki.org)
-http://thinkwiki.org/wiki/Thermal_Sensors#ThinkPad_T43.2C_T43p
-2:  System board, left side (near PCMCIA slot), reported as HDAPS temp
-3:  PCMCIA slot
-9:  MCH (northbridge) to DRAM Bus
-10: Clock-generator, mini-pci card and ICH (southbridge), under Mini-PCI
-    card, under touchpad
-11: Power regulator, underside of system board, below F2 key
-
-The A31 has a very atypical layout for the thermal sensors
-(source: Milos Popovic, http://thinkwiki.org/wiki/Thermal_Sensors#ThinkPad_A31)
-1:  CPU
-2:  Main Battery: main sensor
-3:  Power Converter
-4:  Bay Battery: main sensor
-5:  MCH (northbridge)
-6:  PCMCIA/ambient
-7:  Main Battery: secondary sensor
-8:  Bay Battery: secondary sensor
-
-
-Procfs notes:
-   Readings from sensors that are not available return -128.
-   No commands can be written to this file.
-
-Sysfs notes:
-   Sensors that are not available return the ENXIO error.  This
-   status may change at runtime, as there are hotplug thermal
-   sensors, like those inside the batteries and docks.
-
-   thinkpad-acpi thermal sensors are reported through the hwmon
-   subsystem, and follow all of the hwmon guidelines at
-   Documentation/hwmon.
-
-
-EXPERIMENTAL: Embedded controller register dump -- /proc/acpi/ibm/ecdump
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
-
-This feature is marked EXPERIMENTAL because the implementation
-directly accesses hardware registers and may not work as expected. USE
-WITH CAUTION! To use this feature, you need to supply the
-experimental=1 parameter when loading the module.
-
-This feature dumps the values of 256 embedded controller
-registers. Values which have changed since the last time the registers
-were dumped are marked with a star:
-

-
-This feature can be used to determine the register holding the fan
-speed on some models. To do that, do the following:
-
-   - make sure the battery is fully charged
-   - make sure the fan is running
-   - run 'cat /proc/acpi/ibm/ecdump' several times, once per second or so
-
-The first step makes sure various charging-related values don't
-vary. The second ensures that the fan-related values do vary, since
-the fan speed fluctuates a bit. The third will (hopefully) mark the
-fan register with a star:
-
-[root@x40 ibm-acpi]# cat /proc/acpi/ibm/ecdump

-
-Another set of values that varies often is the temperature
-readings. Since temperatures don't change vary fast, you can take
-several quick dumps to eliminate them.
-
-You can use a similar method to figure out the meaning of other
-embedded controller registers - e.g. make sure nothing else changes
-except the charging or discharging battery to determine which
-registers contain the current battery capacity, etc. If you experiment
-with this, do send me your results (including some complete dumps with
-a description of the conditions when they were taken.)
-
-LCD brightness control
-----------------------
-
-procfs: /proc/acpi/ibm/brightness
-sysfs backlight device "thinkpad_screen"
-
-This feature allows software control of the LCD brightness on ThinkPad
-models which don't have a hardware brightness slider.
-
-It has some limitations: the LCD backlight cannot be actually turned on or
-off by this interface, and in many ThinkPad models, the "dim while on
-battery" functionality will be enabled by the BIOS when this interface is
-used, and cannot be controlled.
-
-On IBM (and some of the earlier Lenovo) ThinkPads, the backlight control
-has eight brightness levels, ranging from 0 to 7.  Some of the levels
-may not be distinct.  Later Lenovo models that implement the ACPI
-display backlight brightness control methods have 16 levels, ranging
-from 0 to 15.
-
-There are two interfaces to the firmware for direct brightness control,
-EC and CMOS.  To select which one should be used, use the
-brightness_mode module parameter: brightness_mode=1 selects EC mode,
-brightness_mode=2 selects CMOS mode, brightness_mode=3 selects both EC
-and CMOS.  The driver tries to autodetect which interface to use.
-
-When display backlight brightness controls are available through the
-standard ACPI interface, it is best to use it instead of this direct
-ThinkPad-specific interface.  The driver will disable its native
-backlight brightness control interface if it detects that the standard
-ACPI interface is available in the ThinkPad.
-
-The brightness_enable module parameter can be used to control whether
-the LCD brightness control feature will be enabled when available.
-brightness_enable=0 forces it to be disabled.  brightness_enable=1
-forces it to be enabled when available, even if the standard ACPI
-interface is also available.
-
-Procfs notes:
-
-   The available commands are:
-
-   echo up   >/proc/acpi/ibm/brightness
-   echo down >/proc/acpi/ibm/brightness
-   echo 'level <level>' >/proc/acpi/ibm/brightness
-
-Sysfs notes:
-
-The interface is implemented through the backlight sysfs class, which is
-poorly documented at this time.
-
-Locate the thinkpad_screen device under /sys/class/backlight, and inside
-it there will be the following attributes:
-
-   max_brightness:
-      Reads the maximum brightness the hardware can be set to.
-      The minimum is always zero.
-
-   actual_brightness:
-      Reads what brightness the screen is set to at this instant.
-
-   brightness:
-      Writes request the driver to change brightness to the
-      given value.  Reads will tell you what brightness the
-      driver is trying to set the display to when "power" is set
-      to zero and the display has not been dimmed by a kernel
-      power management event.
-
-   power:
-      power management mode, where 0 is "display on", and 1 to 3
-      will dim the display backlight to brightness level 0
-      because thinkpad-acpi cannot really turn the backlight
-      off.  Kernel power management events can temporarily
-      increase the current power management level, i.e. they can
-      dim the display.
-
-
-Volume control -- /proc/acpi/ibm/volume
----------------------------------------
-
-This feature allows volume control on ThinkPad models which don't have
-a hardware volume knob. The available commands are:
-
-   echo up   >/proc/acpi/ibm/volume
-   echo down >/proc/acpi/ibm/volume
-   echo mute >/proc/acpi/ibm/volume
-   echo 'level <level>' >/proc/acpi/ibm/volume
-
-The <level> number range is 0 to 15 although not all of them may be
-distinct. The unmute the volume after the mute command, use either the
-up or down command (the level command will not unmute the volume).
-The current volume level and mute state is shown in the file.
-
-Fan control and monitoring: fan speed, fan enable/disable
----------------------------------------------------------
-
-procfs: /proc/acpi/ibm/fan
-sysfs device attributes: (hwmon "thinkpad") fan1_input, pwm1,
-           pwm1_enable
-sysfs hwmon driver attributes: fan_watchdog
-
-NOTE NOTE NOTE: fan control operations are disabled by default for
-safety reasons.  To enable them, the module parameter "fan_control=1"
-must be given to thinkpad-acpi.
-
-This feature attempts to show the current fan speed, control mode and
-other fan data that might be available.  The speed is read directly
-from the hardware registers of the embedded controller.  This is known
-to work on later R, T, X and Z series ThinkPads but may show a bogus
-value on other models.
-
-Fan levels:
-
-Most ThinkPad fans work in "levels" at the firmware interface.  Level 0
-stops the fan.  The higher the level, the higher the fan speed, although
-adjacent levels often map to the same fan speed.  7 is the highest
-level, where the fan reaches the maximum recommended speed.
-
-Level "auto" means the EC changes the fan level according to some
-internal algorithm, usually based on readings from the thermal sensors.
-
-There is also a "full-speed" level, also known as "disengaged" level.
-In this level, the EC disables the speed-locked closed-loop fan control,
-and drives the fan as fast as it can go, which might exceed hardware
-limits, so use this level with caution.
-
-The fan usually ramps up or down slowly from one speed to another, and
-it is normal for the EC to take several seconds to react to fan
-commands.  The full-speed level may take up to two minutes to ramp up to
-maximum speed, and in some ThinkPads, the tachometer readings go stale
-while the EC is transitioning to the full-speed level.
-
-WARNING WARNING WARNING: do not leave the fan disabled unless you are
-monitoring all of the temperature sensor readings and you are ready to
-enable it if necessary to avoid overheating.
-
-An enabled fan in level "auto" may stop spinning if the EC decides the
-ThinkPad is cool enough and doesn't need the extra airflow.  This is
-normal, and the EC will spin the fan up if the various thermal readings
-rise too much.
-
-On the X40, this seems to depend on the CPU and HDD temperatures.
-Specifically, the fan is turned on when either the CPU temperature
-climbs to 56 degrees or the HDD temperature climbs to 46 degrees.  The
-fan is turned off when the CPU temperature drops to 49 degrees and the
-HDD temperature drops to 41 degrees.  These thresholds cannot
-currently be controlled.
-
-The ThinkPad's ACPI DSDT code will reprogram the fan on its own when
-certain conditions are met.  It will override any fan programming done
-through thinkpad-acpi.
-
-The thinkpad-acpi kernel driver can be programmed to revert the fan
-level to a safe setting if userspace does not issue one of the procfs
-fan commands: "enable", "disable", "level" or "watchdog", or if there
-are no writes to pwm1_enable (or to pwm1 *if and only if* pwm1_enable is
-set to 1, manual mode) within a configurable amount of time of up to
-120 seconds.  This functionality is called fan safety watchdog.
-
-Note that the watchdog timer stops after it enables the fan.  It will be
-rearmed again automatically (using the same interval) when one of the
-above mentioned fan commands is received.  The fan watchdog is,
-therefore, not suitable to protect against fan mode changes made through
-means other than the "enable", "disable", and "level" procfs fan
-commands, or the hwmon fan control sysfs interface.
-
-Procfs notes:
-
-The fan may be enabled or disabled with the following commands:
-
-   echo enable  >/proc/acpi/ibm/fan
-   echo disable >/proc/acpi/ibm/fan
-
-Placing a fan on level 0 is the same as disabling it.  Enabling a fan
-will try to place it in a safe level if it is too slow or disabled.
-
-The fan level can be controlled with the command:
-
-   echo 'level <level>' > /proc/acpi/ibm/fan
-
-Where <level> is an integer from 0 to 7, or one of the words "auto" or
-"full-speed" (without the quotes).  Not all ThinkPads support the "auto"
-and "full-speed" levels.  The driver accepts "disengaged" as an alias for
-"full-speed", and reports it as "disengaged" for backwards
-compatibility.
-
-On the X31 and X40 (and ONLY on those models), the fan speed can be
-controlled to a certain degree.  Once the fan is running, it can be
-forced to run faster or slower with the following command:
-
-   echo 'speed <speed>' > /proc/acpi/ibm/fan
-
-The sustainable range of fan speeds on the X40 appears to be from about
-3700 to about 7350. Values outside this range either do not have any
-effect or the fan speed eventually settles somewhere in that range.  The
-fan cannot be stopped or started with this command.  This functionality
-is incomplete, and not available through the sysfs interface.
-
-To program the safety watchdog, use the "watchdog" command.
-
-   echo 'watchdog <interval in seconds>' > /proc/acpi/ibm/fan
-
-If you want to disable the watchdog, use 0 as the interval.
-
-Sysfs notes:
-
-The sysfs interface follows the hwmon subsystem guidelines for the most
-part, and the exception is the fan safety watchdog.
-
-Writes to any of the sysfs attributes may return the EINVAL error if
-that operation is not supported in a given ThinkPad or if the parameter
-is out-of-bounds, and EPERM if it is forbidden.  They may also return
-EINTR (interrupted system call), and EIO (I/O error while trying to talk
-to the firmware).
-
-Features not yet implemented by the driver return ENOSYS.
-
-hwmon device attribute pwm1_enable:
-   0: PWM offline (fan is set to full-speed mode)
-   1: Manual PWM control (use pwm1 to set fan level)
-   2: Hardware PWM control (EC "auto" mode)
-   3: reserved (Software PWM control, not implemented yet)
-
-   Modes 0 and 2 are not supported by all ThinkPads, and the
-   driver is not always able to detect this.  If it does know a
-   mode is unsupported, it will return -EINVAL.
-
-hwmon device attribute pwm1:
-   Fan level, scaled from the firmware values of 0-7 to the hwmon
-   scale of 0-255.  0 means fan stopped, 255 means highest normal
-   speed (level 7).
-
-   This attribute only commands the fan if pmw1_enable is set to 1
-   (manual PWM control).
-
-hwmon device attribute fan1_input:
-   Fan tachometer reading, in RPM.  May go stale on certain
-   ThinkPads while the EC transitions the PWM to offline mode,
-   which can take up to two minutes.  May return rubbish on older
-   ThinkPads.
-
-hwmon driver attribute fan_watchdog:
-   Fan safety watchdog timer interval, in seconds.  Minimum is
-   1 second, maximum is 120 seconds.  0 disables the watchdog.
-
-To stop the fan: set pwm1 to zero, and pwm1_enable to 1.
-
-To start the fan in a safe mode: set pwm1_enable to 2.  If that fails
-with EINVAL, try to set pwm1_enable to 1 and pwm1 to at least 128 (255
-would be the safest choice, though).

-
-EXPERIMENTAL: WAN
------------------
-
-procfs: /proc/acpi/ibm/wan
-sysfs device attribute: wwan_enable
-
-This feature is marked EXPERIMENTAL because the implementation
-directly accesses hardware registers and may not work as expected. USE
-WITH CAUTION! To use this feature, you need to supply the
-experimental=1 parameter when loading the module.
-
-This feature shows the presence and current state of a W-WAN (Sierra
-Wireless EV-DO) device.
-
-It was tested on a Lenovo Thinkpad X60. It should probably work on other
-Thinkpad models which come with this module installed.
-
-Procfs notes:
-
-If the W-WAN card is installed, the following commands can be used:
-
-   echo enable > /proc/acpi/ibm/wan
-   echo disable > /proc/acpi/ibm/wan
-
-Sysfs notes:
-
-   If the W-WAN card is installed, it can be enabled /
-   disabled through the "wwan_enable" thinkpad-acpi device
-   attribute, and its current status can also be queried.
-
-   enable:
-      0: disables WWAN card / WWAN card is disabled
-      1: enables WWAN card / WWAN card is enabled.
-
-   Note: this interface will be probably be superseeded by the
-   generic rfkill class, so it is NOT to be considered stable yet.
-
-Multiple Commands, Module Parameters
-------------------------------------
-
-Multiple commands can be written to the proc files in one shot by
-separating them with commas, for example:
-
-   echo enable,0xffff > /proc/acpi/ibm/hotkey
-   echo lcd_disable,crt_enable > /proc/acpi/ibm/video
-
-Commands can also be specified when loading the thinkpad-acpi module,
-for example:
-
-   modprobe thinkpad_acpi hotkey=enable,0xffff video=auto_disable
-
-Enabling debugging output
--------------------------
-
-The module takes a debug parameter which can be used to selectively
-enable various classes of debugging output, for example:
-
-    modprobe ibm_acpi debug=0xffff
-
-will enable all debugging output classes.  It takes a bitmask, so
-to enable more than one output class, just add their values.
-
-   Debug bitmask      Description
-   0x0001         Initialization and probing
-   0x0002         Removal
-
-There is also a kernel build option to enable more debugging
-information, which may be necessary to debug driver problems.
-
-The level of debugging information output by the driver can be changed
-at runtime through sysfs, using the driver attribute debug_level.  The
-attribute takes the same bitmask as the debug module parameter above.
-
-Force loading of module
------------------------
-
-If thinkpad-acpi refuses to detect your ThinkPad, you can try to specify
-the module parameter force_load=1.  Regardless of whether this works or
-not, please contact ibm-acpi-devel@lists.sourceforge.net with a report.

-Sysfs interface changelog:
-
-0x000100:   Initial sysfs support, as a single platform driver and
-      device.
-0x000200:   Hot key support for 32 hot keys, and radio slider switch
-      support.
-0x010000:   Hot keys are now handled by default over the input
-      layer, the radio switch generates input event EV_RADIO,
-      and the driver enables hot key handling by default in
-      the firmware.
-
-0x020000:   ABI fix: added a separate hwmon platform device and
-      driver, which must be located by name (thinkpad)
-      and the hwmon class for libsensors4 (lm-sensors 3)
-      compatibility.  Moved all hwmon attributes to this
-      new platform device.
