Subject: [PATCH 0/4] toshiba_acpi: Expanded hotkey support

Hi Matthew,

The following patches expand toshiba_acpi's hotkey support to include
many additional models. Here's the high-level summary:

 * Add support for reading scancodes using the INFO method when
   avaialable and for generating hotkey notifications by filtering Fn
   key presses from the keyboard
 * Adds a new EC interface allowing toshiba_acpi to get a handle to the
   EC, which is needed because the NTFY method used to generate the
   hotkey notifications is in the EC namespace
 * Support some additional hotkey scancodes
 * Blacklist hotkey support for the Satellite C670-10V due to a buggy
   implementation of the INFO method on this model

More details can be found in the individual patch descriptions.

Cc-ing the ACPI folks on the full series to provide context regarding
how toshiba_acpi will use the new EC interface.

Thanks,
Seth
