…-x86 Pull x86 platform driver updates from Matthew Garrett: "A moderate number of changes, but nothing awfully significant. A lot of const cleanups, some reworking and additions to the rfkill quirks in the asus driver, a new driver for generating falling laptop events on Toshibas and some misc fixes.

1. Description | ||
-------------- | ||
|
||
This driver provides support for the accelerometer found in various Toshiba | ||
laptops, being called "Toshiba HDD Protection - Shock Sensor" officialy, | ||
and detects laptops automatically with this device. | ||
On Windows, Toshiba provided software monitors this device and provides | ||
automatic HDD protection (head unload) on sudden moves or harsh vibrations, | ||
however, this driver only provides a notification via a sysfs file to let | ||
userspace tools or daemons act accordingly, as well as providing a sysfs | ||
file to set the desired protection level or sensor sensibility. | ||
|
||
|
||
2. Interface | ||
------------ | ||
|
||
This device comes with 3 methods: | ||
_STA - Checks existence of the device, returning Zero if the device does not | ||
exists or is not supported. | ||
PTLV - Sets the desired protection level. | ||
RSSS - Shuts down the HDD protection interface for a few seconds, | ||
then restores normal operation. | ||
|
||
Note: | ||
The presence of Solid State Drives (SSD) can make this driver to fail loading, | ||
given the fact that such drives have no movable parts, and thus, not requiring | ||
any "protection" as well as failing during the evaluation of the _STA method | ||
found under this device. | ||
|
||
|
||
3. Accelerometer axes | ||
--------------------- | ||
|
||
This device does not report any axes, however, to query the sensor position | ||
a couple HCI (Hardware Configuration Interface) calls (0x6D and 0xA6) are | ||
provided to query such information, handled by the kernel module toshiba_acpi | ||
since kernel version 3.15. | ||
|
||
|
||
4. Supported devices | ||
-------------------- | ||
|
||
This driver binds itself to the ACPI device TOS620A, and any Toshiba laptop | ||
with this device is supported, given the fact that they have the presence of | ||
conventional HDD and not only SSD, or a combination of both HDD and SSD. | ||
|
||
|
||
5. Usage | ||
-------- | ||
|
||
The sysfs files under /sys/devices/LNXSYSTM:00/LNXSYBUS:00/TOS620A:00/ are: | ||
protection_level - The protection_level is readable and writeable, and | ||
provides a way to let userspace query the current protection | ||
level, as well as set the desired protection level, the | ||
available protection levels are: | ||
0 - Disabled | 1 - Low | 2 - Medium | 3 - High | ||
reset_protection - The reset_protection entry is writeable only, being "1" | ||
the only parameter it accepts, it is used to trigger | ||
a reset of the protection interface. |
