Merge branch 'for_linus' of git://cavan.codon.org.uk/platform-drivers-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.

  Maybe vendors have stopped inventing things"

Kernel driver toshiba_haps
Toshiba HDD Active Protection Sensor

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.
