+Linux ACPI Custom Control Method How To
+=======================================
+
+Written by Zhang Rui <[email protected]>
+
+
+Linux supports customizing ACPI control methods at runtime.
+
+Users can use this to
+1. override an existing method which may not work correctly,
+   or just for debugging purposes.
+2. insert a completely new method in order to create a missing
+   method such as _OFF, _ON, _STA, _INI, etc.
+For these cases, it is far simpler to dynamically install a single
+control method rather than override the entire DSDT, because kernel
+rebuild/reboot is not needed and test result can be got in minutes.
+
+Note: Only ACPI METHOD can be overridden, any other object types like
+      "Device", "OperationRegion", are not recognized.
+Note: The same ACPI control method can be overridden for many times,
+      and it's always the latest one that used by Linux/kernel.
+
+1. override an existing method
+   a) get the ACPI table via ACPI sysfs I/F. e.g. to get the DSDT,
+      just run "cat /sys/firmware/acpi/tables/DSDT > /tmp/dsdt.dat"
+   b) disassemble the table by running "iasl -d dsdt.dat".
+   c) rewrite the ASL code of the method and save it in a new file,
+   d) package the new file (psr.asl) to an ACPI table format.
+      Here is an example of a customized \_SB._AC._PSR method,
+
+      DefinitionBlock ("", "SSDT", 1, "", "", 0x20080715)
+      {
+	External (ACON)
+
+	Method (\_SB_.AC._PSR, 0, NotSerialized)
+	{
+		Store ("In AC _PSR", Debug)
+		Return (ACON)
+	}
+      }
+      Note that the full pathname of the method in ACPI namespace
+      should be used.
+      And remember to use "External" to declare external objects.
+   e) assemble the file to generate the AML code of the method.
+      e.g. "iasl psr.asl" (psr.aml is generated as a result)
+   f) mount debugfs by "mount -t debugfs none /sys/kernel/debug"
+   g) override the old method via the debugfs by running
+      "cat /tmp/psr.aml > /sys/kernel/debug/acpi/custom_method"
+
+2. insert a new method
+   This is easier than overriding an existing method.
+   We just need to create the ASL code of the method we want to
+   insert and then follow the step c) ~ g) in section 1.
+
+3. undo your changes
+   The "undo" operation is not supported for a new inserted method
+   right now, i.e. we can not remove a method currently.
+   For an overrided method, in order to undo your changes, please
+   save a copy of the method original ASL code in step c) section 1,
+   and redo step c) ~ g) to override the method with the original one.
+
+
+Note: We can use a kernel with multiple custom ACPI method running,
+      But each individual write to debugfs can implement a SINGLE
+      method override. i.e. if we want to insert/override multiple
+      ACPI methods, we need to redo step c) ~ g) for multiple times.

+When:	March 2010
+Why:	These two features use non-standard interfaces. There are the

+
+	Removing them will allow to remove a lot of code an significantly

+
+	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

-For IBM and Lenovo models *without* ACPI backlight control (the ones on
-which thinkpad-acpi will autoload its backlight interface by default,
-and on which ACPI video does not export a backlight interface):
-
-1. Don't enable or map the brightness hotkeys in thinkpad-acpi, as
-   these older firmware versions unfortunately won't respect the hotkey
-   mask for brightness keys anyway, and always reacts to them.  This
-   usually work fine, unless X.org drivers are doing something to block
-   the BIOS.  In that case, use (3) below.  This is the default mode of
-   operation.
-
-2. Enable the hotkeys, but map them to something else that is NOT
-   KEY_BRIGHTNESS_UP/DOWN or any other keycode that would cause
-   userspace to try to change the backlight level, and use that as an
-   on-screen-display hint.
-
-3. IF AND ONLY IF X.org drivers find a way to block the firmware from
-   automatically changing the brightness, enable the hotkeys and map
-   them to KEY_BRIGHTNESS_UP and KEY_BRIGHTNESS_DOWN, and feed that to
-   something that calls xbacklight.  thinkpad-acpi will not be able to
-   change brightness in that case either, so you should disable its
-   backlight interface.
-
-For Lenovo models *with* ACPI backlight control:
-
-1. Load up ACPI video and use that.  ACPI video will report ACPI
-   events for brightness change keys.  Do not mess with thinkpad-acpi
-   defaults in this case.  thinkpad-acpi should not have anything to do
-   with backlight events in a scenario where ACPI video is loaded:
-   brightness hotkeys must be disabled, and the backlight interface is
-   to be kept disabled as well.  This is the default mode of operation.
-
-2. Do *NOT* load up ACPI video, enable the hotkeys in thinkpad-acpi,
-   and map them to KEY_BRIGHTNESS_UP and KEY_BRIGHTNESS_DOWN.  Process
-   these keys on userspace somehow (e.g. by calling xbacklight).
-   The driver will do this automatically if it detects that ACPI video
-   has been disabled.
+The driver will issue KEY_BRIGHTNESS_UP and KEY_BRIGHTNESS_DOWN events
+automatically for the cases were userspace has to do something to
+implement brightness changes.  When you override these events, you will
+either fail to handle properly the ThinkPads that require explicit
+action to change backlight brightness, or the ThinkPads that require
+that no action be taken to work properly.

+You can use the volume_capabilities parameter to tell the driver

+
+There are two strategies for volume control.  To select which one
+should be used, use the volume_mode module parameter: volume_mode=1
+selects EC mode, and volume_mode=3 selects EC mode with NVRAM backing
+(so that volume/mute changes are remembered across shutdown/reboot).
+
+The driver will operate in volume_mode=3 by default. If that does not
+work well on your ThinkPad model, please report this to
[email protected].

+The driver supports the standard ALSA module parameters.  If the ALSA
