@ -489,3 +489,23 @@ Why: With the recent innovations in CPU hardware acceleration technologies
Who: Alok N Kataria <akataria@vmware.com>
----------------------------
What: Support for lcd_switch and display_get in asus-laptop driver
When: March 2010
Why: These two features use non-standard interfaces. There are the
only features that really need multiple path to guess what's
the right method name on a specific laptop.
Removing them will allow to remove a lot of code an significantly
clean the drivers.
This will affect the backlight code which won't be able to know
if the backlight is on or off. The platform display file will also be
write only (like the one in eeepc-laptop).
This should'nt affect a lot of user because they usually know
when their display is on or off.
