+What: Support for lcd_switch and display_get in asus-laptop driver
+When: March 2010
+Why: These two features use non-standard interfaces. There are the
+ only features that really need multiple path to guess what's
+ the right method name on a specific laptop.
+
+ Removing them will allow to remove a lot of code an significantly
+ clean the drivers.
+
+ This will affect the backlight code which won't be able to know
+ if the backlight is on or off. The platform display file will also be
+ write only (like the one in eeepc-laptop).
+
+ This should'nt affect a lot of user because they usually know
+ when their display is on or off.
