2008-07-25gpio: add bt8xxgpio driverMichael Buesch
This adds the bt8xxgpio driver. The purpose of the bt8xxgpio driver is to export all of the 24 GPIO pins available on Brooktree 8xx chips to the kernel GPIO infrastructure. This makes it possible to use a physically modified BT8xx card as cheap digital GPIO card.

2008-07-24remove the v850 portAdrian Bunk
Trying to compile the v850 port brings many compile errors, one of them exists since at least kernel 2.6.19. There also seems to be noone willing to bring this port back into a usable state. This patch therefore removes the v850 port. If anyone ever decides to revive the v850 port the code will still be available from older kernels, and it wouldn't be impossible for the port to reenter the kernel if it would become actively maintained again.

2008-07-16Fujitsu-laptop updateJonathan Woithe
Add additional capabilities to the Fujitsu-laptop driver. * Brightness hotkey actions are sent to userspace. This can be disabled using a module parameter if it causes issues with models which handle these keys transparently in the BIOS. * Actions of additional hotkeys found on some Fujitsu models (eg: the suspend key and the dedicated "power on passphrase" keys) are broadcast to userspace. * An alternative brightness control method used by some Fujitsu models (for example, the S6410) is now supported, enabling software brightness controls on models using this method. * DMI-based module aliases are configured for the S6410 and S7020. * The current LCD brightness after booting should now be reflected in the standard backlight interface sysfs file (previously it was always set to 0). The platform brightness sysfs interface has always been fine. Thanks go to Peter Gruber who provided a significant portion of this code and tested various iterations of the patch on his S6410.

2008-07-04man-pages is supportedMichael Kerrisk
Starting last month, I reached a long-time goal: man-pages finally has a paid, full-time maintainer, thanks to a fellowship from the Linux Foundation. It's still a little unclear how long the LF money will last for the fellowship, but for the foreseeable future, I'll be working on: * Properly documenting every new Linux kernel-userland (and glibc) API, and every API change, that is released into the mainline kernel, ideally before actual release. (That's the ideal, but there's a quite a backlog, so I'm not going to achieve the ideal immediately.) * Testing new APIs, again ideally before they are released into the mainline kernel, and probably doing some light bug fixing while I'm at it (e.g., the recent utimensat() work). * Design review of new APIs, which of course can only usefully be done before they are released into the mainline kernel. * And of course accepting patches and dealing with bug reports for existing man pages.
