This also involves switching the resume handler from the acpi device
to the platform device. Using the more fine grained handlers allows
two improvements:
1. We only need to recheck rfkill state after resume from hibernation.
2. The wireless LED workaround accounts for up to 1.1s out of 1.7s
resuming devices (when wireless is enabled). We can limit the
workaround to thaw(), so that it only delays suspend to disk.
The workaround is only likely to help when hibernation is aborted.
Suspend to ram cannot be aborted by the user. Device suspend errors may
well happen before eeepc-laptop would even be frozen. Suspend errors
which happen after that could be pretty funky anyway.

Sysfs showed the ehotk input device as a "virtual" device - lies!
The input device is provided by a physical device, the eeepc platform.
This requires that we move the creation of the input device to come
after platform device is created. Input initialization is moved from
ehotk_check() [sic] to a new function called eeepc_input_init(). This
brings the input device into line with the other eeepc-laptop devices.
Also, refuse to load if we fail to register the input device.

1. input and backlight devices were registered after acpi notifications
are enabled. This left a window where eeepc_hotk_notify() might
find these devices in an inconsistent (half-initialized) state.
-> Move all device registration into eeepc_hotk_add(), which is called
before enabling acpi notifications.
2. input and backlight devices were unregistered before acpi
notifications are disabled. This left a window where
eeepc_hotk_notify() might find these devices in an inconsistent
(half-destroyed) state.
-> Move all device unregistration into eeepc_hotk_remove(), which is
called after disabling acpi notifications.
3. The acpi driver was not freed if an error occured further down in
eeepc_laptop_init().
-> The rest of eeepc_laptop_init() has been moved to eeepc_hotk_add(),
so this is no longer a problem.
4. The acpi driver was unregistered before the platform driver. This
left a window where a sysfs access could attempt to read the ehotk
structure after it had been freed by eeepc_hotk_remove().
-> The acpi driver is now unregistered as the last step in
eeepc_laptop_exit(), so this is no longer a problem.

Wifi rfkill state changes can race with pci hotplug cleanup. A simple
fix is to refresh the hotplug state just before deregistering the pci
hotplug slot.
There is also potential for a hotplug notification to fire too early
during setup, while the structures it uses are still being initialised.
(This could only happen if the BIOS performs hotplug itself; a bug
triggered by removing the battery while hibernated). Avoid this by
registering the notifier later. The same refresh mechanism is used
to handle rfkill state changes which can now race with registration.

Commit d0265f0 "eeepc-laptop: fix hot-unplug on resume" used a workqueue
to protect pci hotplug against multiple simultaneous calls during
resume. It seems to work, but a mutex would be more appropriate.
This is in preparation to fix the potential pci hotplug race on unload.

The whole point of registering as a PCI hotplug driver was to prevent
conflict with pciehp. At the moment it happens to work because
eeepc-laptop is loaded first, but it doesn't work the other way round.
If pciehp is loaded first then we fail to claim the slot - we need to
respect this and not handle hotplug events.

OOPS on resume when the wireless adaptor is disabled during suspend was
introduced by "eeepc-laptop: read rfkill soft-blocked state on resume".
Unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference
Process s2disk
Tainted: G W
IP: klist_put
Call trace:
? klist_del
? device_del
? device_unregister
? pci_stop_dev

? eeepc_hotk_resume [eeepc_laptop]
? acpi_device_resume
? device_resume
? hibernation_snapshot
It appears the PCI device is removed twice. The eeepc_rfkill_hotplug()
call from the resume handler is racing against the call from the ACPI
notifier callback. The ACPI notification is triggered by the resume
handler when it refreshes the value of CM_ASL_WLAN.
The fix is to serialize hotplug calls using a workqueue.

The eee contains a logically (but not physically) hotpluggable PCIe slot.
Currently this is handled by adding or removing the PCI device in response
to rfkill events, but if a user has forced pciehp to bind to it (with the
force=1 argument) then both drivers will try to handle the event and
hilarity (in the form of oopses) will ensue. This can be avoided by having
eee-laptop register the slot as a hotplug slot. Only one of pciehp and
eee-laptop will successfully register this, avoiding the problem.

This will respect state changes over hibernation, e.g. if the user
disables the wireless in the BIOS setup screen.
It reveals an issue where ACPI silently kills the wireless on
suspend. Normally, the BIOS restores the correct state from
non-volatile storage on boot. But when hibernation is aborted,
the wireless would remain killed. Fortunately we can work around
this in the resume handler by simply writing back the same value we
read from NVS.

The setting of the "persistent" flag is also made more explicit using
a new rfkill_init_sw_state() function, instead of special-casing
rfkill_set_sw_state() when it is called before registration.
Suspend is a bit of a corner case so we try to get away without adding
another hack to rfkill-input - it's going to be removed soon.
If the state does change over suspend, users will simply have to prod
rfkill-input twice in order to toggle the state.
Userspace policy agents will be able to implement a more consistent user
experience. For example, they can avoid the above problem if they
toggle devices individually. Then there would be no "global state"
to get out of sync.
Currently there are only two rfkill drivers with persistent soft-blocked
state. thinkpad-acpi already checks the software state on resume.
eeepc-laptop will require modification.

This patch adds a .notify() method. The presence of .notify() causes
Linux/ACPI to manage event handlers and notify handlers on our behalf,
so we don't have to install and remove them ourselves.
This driver relies on seeing system notify events, not device-specific
ones (because it used ACPI_SYSTEM_NOTIFY). We use the
ACPI_DRIVER_ALL_NOTIFY_EVENTS driver flag to request all events, then
just ignore any device events we get.

rfkill_set_global_sw_state() (previously rfkill_set_default()) will no
longer be exported by the rewritten rfkill core.
Instead, platform drivers which can provide persistent soft-rfkill state
across power-down/reboot should indicate their initial state by calling
rfkill_set_sw_state() before registration. Otherwise, they will be
initialized to a default value during registration by a set_block call.
We remove existing calls to rfkill_set_sw_state() which happen before
registration, since these had no effect in the old model. If these
drivers do have persistent state, the calls can be put back (subject
to testing :-). This affects hp-wmi and acer-wmi.
Drivers with persistent state will affect the global state only if
rfkill-input is enabled. This is required, otherwise booting with
wireless soft-blocked and pressing the wireless-toggle key once would
have no apparent effect. This special case will be removed in future
along with rfkill-input, in favour of a more flexible userspace daemon
(see Documentation/feature-removal-schedule.txt).
Now rfkill_global_states[n].def is only used to preserve global states
over EPO, it is renamed to ".sav".

This patch completely rewrites the rfkill core to address
the following deficiencies:
* all rfkill drivers need to implement polling where necessary
rather than having one central implementation
* updating the rfkill state cannot be done from arbitrary
contexts, forcing drivers to use schedule_work and requiring
lots of code
* rfkill drivers need to keep track of soft/hard blocked
internally -- the core should do this
* the rfkill API has many unexpected quirks, for example being
asymmetric wrt. alloc/free and register/unregister
* rfkill can call back into a driver from within a function the
driver called -- this is prone to deadlocks and generally
should be avoided
* rfkill-input pointlessly is a separate module
* drivers need to #ifdef rfkill functions (unless they want to
depend on or select RFKILL) -- rfkill should provide inlines
that do nothing if it isn't compiled in
* the rfkill structure is not opaque -- drivers need to initialise
it correctly (lots of sanity checking code required) -- instead
force drivers to pass the right variables to rfkill_alloc()
* the documentation is hard to read because it always assumes the
reader is completely clueless and contains way TOO MANY CAPS
* the rfkill code needlessly uses a lot of locks and atomic
operations in locked sections
* fix LED trigger to actually change the LED when the radio state
changes -- this wasn't done before

The older eeepc-acpi driver allowed to control the SHE performance
preset through a ACPI function for just this purpose. SHE underclocks
and undervolts the FSB and undervolts the CPU (at preset 2,
"powersave"), or slightly overclocks the CPU (at preset 0,
"performance"). Preset 1 is the default setting with default clocks and
voltage.
The new eeepc-laptop driver doesn't support it anymore.
The attached patch adds support for it to eeepc-laptop. It's very
straight-forward and almost trivial.

1) Buggy firmware can change the RFKILL state by itself. This is easily
detected. The RFKILL API states that in such cases, we should call
rfkill_force_state() to notify the core.
I have reported the bug to Asus. I believe this is the right thing
to do for robustness, even if this particular firmware bug is fixed.
2) The same bug causes the wireless toggle key to be reported as 0x11
instead of 0x10. 0x11 is otherwise unused, so it should be safe to
add this as a new keycode.
The bug is triggered by removing the laptop battery while hibernated.
On resume, the wireless toggle key causes the firmware to toggle the
wireless state itself. (Also, the key is reported as 0x11 when the
current wireless state is OFF).
This is very poor behaviour because the OS can't predict whether the
firmware is controlling the RFKILL state.
Without this workaround, the bug means users have to press the wireless
toggle key twice to enable, due to the OS/firmware conflict. (Assuming
rfkill-input or equivalent is being used). The workaround avoids this.
I believe that acpid scripts which toggle the value of the sysfs state file
when the toggle key is pressed will be rendered ineffective by the bug,
regardless of this workaround. If they simply toggle the state, when the
firmware has already toggled it, then you will never see a state change.
Tested on "EEEPC 4G" only.

This maps the brightness control events to one of two keys, either
KEY_BRIGHTNESSDOWN or KEY_BRIGHTNESSUP, as needed.
Some mapping has to be done due to the fact that the BIOS reports them as
<base value> + <current brightness index>; the selection is done according to
the sign of the change in brightness (if this is 0, no keypress is reported).

When an rfkill device is registered, the rfkill core will change its
state to the system default. So we need to prepare for state changes
*before* we register it. That means installing the eeepc-specific ACPI
callback which handles the hotplug of the wireless network adaptor.
This problem doesn't occur during normal operation. You have to
1) Boot with wireless enabled. eeepc-laptop should load automatically.
2) modprobe -r eeepc-laptop
3) modprobe eeepc-laptop
On boot, the default rfkill state will be set to enabled.
With the current core code, step 2) will disable the wireless.
Therefore in step 3), the wireless will change state during registration,
from disabled to enabled. But without this fix, the PCI device for the
wireless adaptor will not appear.

The Eee implements rfkill by logically unplugging the wireless card from the
PCI bus. Despite sending ACPI notifications, this does not appear to be
implemented using standard ACPI hotplug - nor does the firmware provide the
_OSC method required to support native PCIe hotplug. The only sensible choice
appears to be to handle the hotplugging directly in the eeepc-laptop driver.
Tested successfully on a 700, 900 and 901.

The community has been maintaining x86 vendor-specific
platform specific drivers under /drivers/misc/ for a few years.
The oldest ones started life under drivers/acpi.
They moved out of drivers/acpi/ because they don't actually

use ACPI, or implement vendor-specific ACPI extensions.
