According to Russell King, adfs was written to not require the big
kernel lock, and all inode updates are done under adfs_dir_lock.
All other metadata in adfs is read-only and does not require locking.
The use of the BKL is the result of various pushdowns from the VFS
operations.

The current code does not follow Intel documentation: It misses some things
and does other, undocumented things. This causes wrong backlight values in
certain conditions. Instead of adding tricky code handling badly documented
and rare corner cases, don't handle combination mode specially at all. This
way PCI_LBPC is never touched and weird things shouldn't happen.
If combination mode is enabled, then the only downside is that changing the
brightness has a greater granularity (the LBPC value), but LBPC is at most
254 and the maximum is in the thousands, so this is no real functional loss.
A potential problem with not handling combined mode is that a brightness of
max * PCI_LBPC is not bright enough. However, this is very unlikely because
from the documentation LBPC seems to act as a scaling factor and doesn't look
like it's supposed to be changed after boot. The value at boot should always
result in a bright enough screen.
IMPORTANT: However, although usually the above is true, it may not be when
people ran an older (2.6.37) kernel which messed up the LBPC register, and
they are unlucky enough to have a BIOS that saves and restores the LBPC value.
Then a good kernel may seem to not work: Max brightness isn't bright enough.
If this happens people should boot back into the old kernel, set brightness
to the maximum, and then reboot. After that everything should be fine.

We force particular alignment when we generate attribute structures
when generation MODULE_VERSION() data and we need to make sure that
this alignment is followed when we iterate over these structures,
otherwise we may crash on platforms whose natural alignment is not
sizeof(void *), such as m68k.

It is found on Dell Inspiron 1018 that the firmware reports that the hardware
killswitch is not supported. This makes the rfkill key not functional.
This patch forces the driver to toggle the firmware rfkill status in the case
that the hardware killswitch is indicated as unsupported by the firmware.

Some thinkpad hotkeys report key codes like KEY_FN_F8 when something
like KEY_VOLUMEDOWN is desired. Always provide the scan codes in
addition to the key codes to assist with debugging these issues. Also
send the scan code before the key code to match what other drivers do,
as some userspace utilities expect this ordering.

Most platform/x86 drivers that use INPUT_SPARSEKMAP also depend on INPUT,
so do the same for ideapad-laptop. This fixes a kconfig warning and

is done deliberatelly, however, the comment before disp_proc_write()
says that at least one of these setting is experimental.
