it was a lot of changes since last version in the portage:
0.30 2006-09-03
---------------------
Visible changes:
- Makefile: now supports kernels built with separate source and build
directories (thanks to Lenz Grimmer).
To work against against some kernel installed under /lib/modules/
add an appropriate KVER= parameter:
# make patch KVER=2.6.16-rc2
If it's not installed you'll need to set KSRC and KBUILD too:
# make patch KVER=2.6.16-rc2 KSRC=$HOME/2.6.16-rc2 KBUILD=$HOME/2.6.16-rc2
- Changed the format of /sys/devices/platform/smapi/smapi_request
(no more register names).
Internal changes:
- tp_smapi: the 'dump' sysfs attribute now outputs only rows 0x00 through 0x0a,
since 0x0b causes an EC hang on some firmware (e.g., all T42 and old T43).
Thanks to Henrique and Sukant for tracking this down!
- thinkpad_ec: Log a warning if 0x161F returns 0x80.
- thinkpad_ec: Increase TPC_REQUEST_RETRIES
- thinkpad_ec: Report row args upon data read error.
- hdaps: Apply hwmon-hdaps-handle-errors-from-input-register-device.patch
from -mm.
0.29 2006-08-17
---------------------
Visible changes:
- Added new sysfs attributes to tp_smapi:
/sys/devices/platform/smapi/BAT0/remaining_percent
/sys/devices/platform/smapi/BAT0/remaining_running_time
/sys/devices/platform/smapi/BAT0/remaining_charging_time
/sys/devices/platform/smapi/BAT0/temperature # milli-Celsius
All of these are read directly from the embedded controller, so they are
more accurate than doing your own computation.
Internal changes:
- tp_smapi: Extended and commented battery attribute show functions.
0.28 2006-08-16
---------------------
Visible changes:
- thinkpad_ec: Removed 'debug' module parameter, it no longer affected much.
- tp_smapi: Remove optical drive speed control (formerly #ifdefed out).
Internal changes:
- hdaps: Removed __init from hdaps_check_ec(). This fixes crashes on resume
(Thanks, Igor!).
- hdaps: Moved axis transformation to dedicated function transform_axes().
- tp_smapi: Cleaned up printk() output, changed macros.
- tp_smapi: Added "E" to SMAPI parameter names (BX->EBX) - they're 32-bit.
- tp_Smapi: Removed verbose printks()s on bad sysfs args.
- A lot of small cleanups.
