include/linux/pci-acpi.h:74:

typedef u32                 acpi_status;

result is unsigned, so an error returned by acpi_bus_register_driver()
will not be noticed.

Looking at the source, there seems to be a missing * to match my DMI
string.  I mean for newer IBM and Lenovo's laptops you match either one
of the following:
MODULE_ALIAS("dmi:bvnIBM:*:svnIBM:*:pvrThinkPad*:rvnIBM:*");
MODULE_ALIAS("dmi:bvnLENOVO:*:svnLENOVO:*:pvrThinkPad*:rvnLENOVO:*");

While for older Thinkpads, you do this (for instance):
IBM_BIOS_MODULE_ALIAS("1[0,3,6,8,A-G,I,K,M-P,S,T]");

with IBM_BIOS_MODULE_ALIAS being MODULE_ALIAS("dmi:bvnIBM:bvr" __type "ET??WW")

Note there's no * terminating the string.  As result, udev doesn't load
anything because modprobe cannot find anything matching this (my
machine actually):

udevtest: run: '/sbin/modprobe dmi:bvnIBM:bvr1IET71WW(2.10):bd06/16/2006:svnIBM:pn236621U:pvrNotAv

This driver has been around and used long enough that we can drop the
'experimental'.

ACPI-WMI isn't experimental anymore, and there are other drivers that now
depend on it that aren't either.

This is acer_rfkill_exit() from drivers/platform/x86/acer-wmi.c.

The code frees wireless_rfkill->data again instead of
bluetooth_rfkill->data.

This was found using a code checker (http://repo.or.cz/w/smatch.git/).

"I hate `select' and will gleefully leap on any s/select/depends/ patch,
whether it works or not :)"
  Andrew Morton

select INPUT is not needed here, because if someone doesn't want INPUT,
he won't want these drivers either.

Like thinkpad_acpi or eeepc-laptop, asus-laptop will
now use "select" instead of "depends on"
for LEDS_CLASS, NEW_LEDS and BACKLIGHT_CLASS_DEVICE

Currently we disable the Acer WMI backlight device if there is no ACPI
backlight device.  As a result, we end up with no backlight device at all.
 We should instead disable it if there is an ACPI device, as the other
laptop drivers do.  This regression was introduced in febf2d9 ("Acer-WMI:
fingers off backlight if video.ko is serving this functionality").

Each laptop driver with backlight support got a similar change around
febf2d9.  The changes to the other drivers look correct; see e.g.
a598c82f for a similar but correct change.  The regression is also in
2.6.28.
