Hi Linus,

A couple of minor fixes and a regression fix for the Sony driver. The Thinkpad driver works fine if it's loaded by hand and the rfkill code on the Eee is currently completely broken for PCIe systems that don't put devices on bus 0. The Sony one is fallout from support for the backlight control on new systems - we're currently able to set it outside valid ranges, which results in no video or potential hardware damage.

The following changes since commit 8b061610dac3a3b89770c85ad63b481a47b0c38e:

Merge branch 'perf-fixes-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/linux-2.6-tip (2011-05-07 13:17:37 -0700)

are available in the git repository at:

Hi Matthew,
Thanks for fixing that.
Should this also go to stable ?
If you have the hardware, could you also fix asus-wmi (1000H is the only eeepc known to use both hotplug and eeepc) ? Thanks,
