    ACPICA: Allow _WAK method to return an Integer
    
    This can happen if the _WAK method returns nothing (as per ACPI
    1.0) but does return an integer if the implicit return mechanism
    is enabled.  This is the only method that has this problem,
    since it is also defined to return a package of two integers
    (ACPI 1.0b+). In all other cases, if a method returns an object
    when one was not expected, no warning is issued.

commit 0081b162023690877e0096ef17a82ba1969befa8

Date:   Sun Nov 9 10:54:02 2008 -0200

    ACPI: thinkpad-acpi: fix fan sleep/resume path
    
    This fixes a regression from v2.6.27, caused by commit
    5814f737e1cd2cfa2893badd62189acae3e1e1fd, "ACPI: thinkpad-acpi:
    attempt to preserve fan state on resume".
    
    It is possible for fan_suspend() to fail to properly initialize
    fan_control_desired_level as required by fan_resume(), resulting on
    the fan always being set to level 7 on resume if the user didn't
    touch the fan controller.
    
    In order to get fan sleep/resume handling to work right:
    
    1. Fix the fan_suspend handling of the T43 firmware quirk. If it is
    still undefined, we didn't touch the fan yet and that means we have no
    business doing it on resume.
    
    2. Store the fan level on its own variable to avoid any possible
    issues with hijacking fan_control_desired_level (which isn't supposed
    to have anything other than 0-7 in it, anyway).
    
    3. Change the fan_resume code to me more straightforward to understand
    (although we DO optimize the boolean logic there, otherwise it looks
    disgusting).
    
    4. Add comments to help understand what the code is supposed to be
    doing.
    
    5. Change fan_set_level to be less strict about how auto and
    full-speed modes are requested.

    sony-laptop: brightness regression fix
    
    After commit 540b8bb9c33935183ceb5bed466a42ad72b2af56:
    
      sony-laptop: fingers off backlight if video.ko is serving this functionality
    
    I can't set brightness on my sony laptop (nothing in /sys/class/backlight).
    dmesg says "sony-laptop: Sony: Brightness ignored, must be controlled by ACPI
    video driver".
    
    The function acpi_video_backlight_support returns 0 if we should use the
    vendor-specific backlight support, while non-0 if the ACPI generic should
    be used. Because of this, the check introduced by the said commit appears
    reversed.

    ACPI suspend: Blacklist boxes that require us to set SCI_EN directly on resume
    
    Some Apple boxes evidently require us to set SCI_EN on resume
    directly, because if we don't do that, they hung somewhere in the
    resume code path.  Moreover, on these boxes it is not sufficient to
    use acpi_enable() to turn ACPI on during resume.  All of this is
    against the ACPI specification which states that (1) the BIOS is
    supposed to return from the S3 sleep state with ACPI enabled
    (SCI_EN set) and (2) the SCI_EN bit is owned by the hardware and we
    are not supposed to change it.
    
    For this reason, blacklist the affected systems so that the SCI_EN
    bit is set during resume on them.
    
    [NOTE: Unconditional setting SCI_EN for all system on resume doesn't
     work, because it makes some other systems crash (that's to be
     expected).  Also, it is not entirely clear right now if all of the
     Apple boxes require this workaround.]

    ACPI: scheduling in atomic via acpi_evaluate_integer ()
    
    Now I know why I had strange "scheduling in atomic" problems:
    acpi_evaluate_integer() does malloc(..., irqs_disabled() ? GFP_ATOMIC
    : GFP_KERNEL)... which is (of course) broken.
    
    There's no way to reliably tell if we need GFP_ATOMIC or not from
    code, this one for example fails to detect spinlocks held.
    
    Fortunately, allocation seems small enough to be done on stack.

    ACPI: battery: Convert discharge energy rate to current properly
    
    ACPI battery interface reports its state either in mW or in mA, and
    discharge rate in your case is reported in mW. power_supply interface
    does not have such a parameter, so current_now parameter is used
    for all cases. But in case of mW, reported discharge should
    be converted into mA.
