Subject[PATCH] Samsung laptop driver
Well, it turns out that for the Samsung laptops, we aren't supposed to
be poking into the raw PCI config space to control the backlight,
there's a SMI way to do it instead (Matthew, you were right.)

So here's an updated version of the driver, with lots of debugging still
left in it, that controls the backlight on a N130 through the "proper"
way.

It's bigger than the last driver, as I've added lots of documenation
about this new interface. I'm also working on adding wireless LED
support, as well as maybe CPU temperature monitoring to the driver, as
that can be controlled through this interface.

Soeren and Jérémie, I took out support for both of your laptops, as I
didn't know if it supported this type of interface. Could you load the
driver with the "force=1" parameter:
modprobe samsung-laptop force=1
and tell me what the kernel log shows for your laptop? If it works,
I'll add the DMI values back to the driver.

Jesse, I don't know how this is going to play with your recently added
backlight support for the i915 driver. As you don't have control over
the LEDs and other stuff that this driver is going to support, I think
we need some way to keep the i915 driver from messing with the backlight
values, don't you think?

thanks,

greg k-h

Subject: Samsung laptop driver

This driver implements backlight controls for Samsung laptops that
currently do not have ACPI support for this control.

It has been tested on the N130 laptop and properly works there.

Many thanks to Dmitry Torokhov <dmitry.torokhov@gmail.com> for cleanups
and other suggestions on how to make the driver simpler.
