2011-03-22backlight: add backlight typeMatthew Garrett1-0/+20
There may be multiple ways of controlling the backlight on a given machine. Allow drivers to expose the type of interface they are providing, making it possible for userspace to make appropriate policy decisions.

2010-03-19rename new rfkill sysfs knobsflorian@mickler.org1-5/+5
This patch renames the (never officially released) sysfs-knobs "blocked_hw" and "blocked_sw" to "hard" and "soft", as the hardware vs software conotation is misleading. It also gets rid of not needed locks around u32-read-access. Signed-off-by: Florian Mickler <florian@mickler.org> Signed-off-by: John W. Linville <linville@tuxdriver.com>

2010-03-10Document the rfkill sysfs ABIflorian@mickler.org1-0/+42
This moves sysfs ABI info from Documentation/rfkill.txt to the ABI subfolder and reformats it. This also schedules the deprecated sysfs parts to be removed in 2012 (claim file) and 2014 (state file).

2010-03-06mm: document /sys/devices/system/node/nodeXMel Gorman1-0/+7
Add a bare description of what /sys/devices/system/node/nodeX is. Others will follow in time but right now, none of that tree is documented. The existence of this file might at least encourage people to document new entries.

2008-04-18ocfs2: Move /sys/o2cb to /sys/fs/o2cbMark Fasheh1-0/+10
/sys/fs is where we really want file system specific sysfs objects. Ocfs2-tools has been updated to look in /sys/fs/o2cb. We can maintain backwards compatibility with old ocfs2-tools by using a sysfs symlink. After some time (2 years), the symlink can be safely removed. This patch also adds documentation to make it easier for people to figure out what /sys/fs/o2cb is used for. Signed-off-by: Mark Fasheh <mfasheh@suse.com>
