<content type='text'>
commit d0c2ce16bec0afa6013b4c5220ca4c9c67210215 upstream.

The ACPI video driver can't control backlight correctly on
Asus UL30VT.  Vendor driver (asus-laptop) can work.  This patch is to
add "Asus UL30VT" to ACPI video detect blacklist in order to use
asus-laptop for video control on the "Asus UL30VT" rather than ACPI
video driver.

<title>ACPI / battery: Correct battery capacity values on Thinkpads</title>

<id>urn:sha1:9f13bd1400f866d09ea5be07379cb5b7f0196110</id>
<content type='text'>
commit 4000e626156935dfb626321ce09cae2c833eabbb upstream.

Add a quirk to correctly report battery capacity on 2010 and 2011
Lenovo Thinkpad models.

The affected models that I tested (x201, t410, t410s, and x220)
exhibit a problem where, when battery capacity reporting unit is mAh,
the values being reported are wrong.  Pre-2010 and 2012 models appear
to always report in mWh and are thus unaffected.  Also, in mid-2012
Lenovo issued a BIOS update for the 2011 models that fixes the issue
(tested on x220 with a post-1.29 BIOS).  No such update is available
for the 2010 models, so those still need this patch.

Problem description: for some reason, the affected Thinkpads switch
the reporting unit between mAh and mWh; generally, mAh is used when a
laptop is plugged in and mWh when it's unplugged, although a
suspend/resume or rmmod/modprobe is needed for the switch to take
effect.  The values reported in mAh are *always* wrong.  This does
not appear to be a kernel regression; I believe that the values were
never reported correctly.  I tested back to kernel 2.6.34, with
multiple machines and BIOS versions.

Simply plugging a laptop into mains before turning it on is enough to
reproduce the problem.  Here's a sample /proc/acpi/battery/BAT0/info
from Thinkpad x220 (before a BIOS update) with a 4-cell battery:

present:                 yes
design capacity:         2886 mAh
last full capacity:      2909 mAh
battery technology:      rechargeable
design voltage:          14800 mV
design capacity warning: 145 mAh
design capacity low:     13 mAh
cycle count:              0
capacity granularity 1:  1 mAh
capacity granularity 2:  1 mAh
model number:            42T4899
serial number:           21064
battery type:            LION
OEM info:                SANYO

Once the laptop switches the unit to mWh (unplug from mains, suspend,
resume), the output changes to:

present:                 yes
design capacity:         28860 mWh
last full capacity:      29090 mWh
battery technology:      rechargeable
design voltage:          14800 mV
design capacity warning: 1454 mWh
design capacity low:     200 mWh
cycle count:              0
capacity granularity 1:  1 mWh
capacity granularity 2:  1 mWh
model number:            42T4899
serial number:           21064
battery type:            LION
OEM info:                SANYO

Can you see how the values for "design capacity", etc., differ by a
factor of 10 instead of 14.8 (the design voltage of this battery)?
On the battery itself it says: 14.8V, 1.95Ah, 29Wh, so clearly the
values reported in mWh are correct and the ones in mAh are not.

My guess is that this problem has been around ever since those
machines were released, but because the most common Thinkpad
batteries are rated at 10.8V, the error (8%) is small enough that it
simply hasn't been noticed or at least nobody could be bothered to
look into it.

My patch works around the problem by adjusting the incorrectly
reported mAh values by "10000 / design_voltage".  The patch also has
code to figure out if it should be activated or not.  It only
activates on Lenovo Thinkpads, only when the unit is mAh, and, as an
extra precaution, only when the battery capacity reported through
ACPI does not match what is reported through DMI (I've never
encountered a machine where the first two conditions would be true
but the last would not, but better safe than sorry).

I've been using this patch for close to a year on several systems
without any problems.

commit fba4e087361605d1eed63343bb08811f097c83ee upstream.

There are systems where video module known to work fine regardless
of broken _DOD and ignoring returned value here doesn't cause
any issues later. This should fix brightness controls on some laptops.

commit 67bfa9b60bd689601554526d144b21d529f78a09 upstream.

By enlarging the GPE storm threshold back to 20, that laptop's
EC works fine with interrupt mode instead of polling mode.

<id>urn:sha1:0bde288a5df7e108b40a4aa615c80652299a7f00</id>
<content type='text'>
commit a520d52e99b14ba7db135e916348f12f2a6e09be upstream.

The Linux EC driver includes a mechanism to detect GPE storms,
and switch from interrupt-mode to polling mode.  However, polling
mode sometimes doesn't work, so the workaround is problematic.
Also, different systems seem to need the threshold for detecting
the GPE storm at different levels.

ACPI_EC_STORM_THRESHOLD was initially 20 when it's created, and
was changed to 8 in 2.6.28 commit 06cf7d3c7 "ACPI: EC: lower interrupt storm
threshold" to fix kernel bug 11892 by forcing the laptop in that bug to
work in polling mode. However in bug 45151, it works fine in interrupt
mode if we lift the threshold back to 20.

This patch makes the threshold a module parameter so that user has a
flexible option to debug/workaround this issue.

The default is unchanged.

This is also a preparation patch to fix specific systems:

commit fc54ab72959edbf229b65ac74b2f122d799ca002 upstream.

The _OSC method may exist in module level code,
so it must be called after ACPI_FULL_INITIALIZATION

On some new platforms with Zero-Power-Optical-Disk-Drive (ZPODD)
support, this fix is necessary to save power.

commit a606dac368eed5696fb38e16b1394f1d049c09e9 adds support to link
devices which have _PRx, if a device does not have _PRx, a warning
message will be printed.

This commit is for ZPODD on Intel ZPODD capable platforms, on other
platforms, it has no problem if there is no power resource for this
device, so a warning here is not appropriate, change it to debug.
