the toshiba ACPI driver will, in a failure case, free the rfkill state
before stopping the polling timer that would use this state. More interesting,
in the same failure case handling, it calls the exit function, which also
frees the rfkill state, but after stopping the polling.
If the race happens, a NULL pointer is passed to rfkill_force_state()
which then causes a nice dereference.
Fix the race by just not doing the too-early freeing of the rfkill state.
This appears to be the cause of a hot issue on kerneloops.org; while I
have no solid evidence of that this patch will fix the issue, the race
appears rather real.

There's been a patch floating around for toshiba_acpi that exports an ad-hoc
/proc interface to toggle the bluetooth adapter in a large number of Toshiba
laptops. I'm not sure if it's still relevant for the latest models, but it is
still required for older models such as my Tecra M3.
This change pulls in the low level Toshiba-specific code from the old patch and
sets up an rfkill device and a polled input device to track the state of the
hardware kill-switch.

This adds aliases to enable autoloading of toishiba_acpi. Two aliases are
defined - TOS6200 (for \\_SB_.VALD.GHCI) and TSO1900 (for \\_SB_.VALZ.GHCI).
This allows toishiba_acpi to be autoloaded on systems that provide those
devices.

Fix section error (allyesconfig). The exit function is called from init,
so functions that are called by the exit function cannot be marked __exit.

Fix following section mismatch warnings in acpi

WARNING: o-i386/drivers/acpi/toshiba_acpi.o(.init.text+0x13a): Section mismatch: reference to .exit.text: (after 'init_module')
The exit function is used in the init function during an error codition.
As __exit may be discarded during link-time / run-time this is no good.
Do not mark the exit function __exit.
Note: This warning is only seen by my local copy of modpost
but the change will soon hit upstream.

Remove uneeded owner field from backlight_properties structure.
Nothing uses it and it is unlikely that it will ever be used. The

This patch set adds generic abstract layer support for acpi video driver to
have generic user interface to control backlight and output switch control by
leveraging the existing backlight sysfs class driver, and by adding a new
video output sysfs class driver.
This patch:
Add dev argument for backlight_device_register to link the class device to
real device object. The platform specific driver should find a way to get the
real device object for their video device.

Add support for the generic backlight interface below /sys/class/backlight.
Keep the procfs brightness handling for backward compatibility.
To achive this, add two generic functions get_lcd and set_lcd
to be used both by the procfs related and the sysfs related methods.

Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,
even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git
archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about
3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
infrastructure for it.
Let it rip!
