The current kconfig help text was misleading users. Also, the default for an input-layer-optimized support caused way too many problems without up-to-date userspace in place. So, rework the help text, and change the default to N. Note that distributions are supposed to enable this option as soon as they update HAL to a version that handles the thinkpad-acpi new input layer interface.

---help---
|
|
This option enables device driver support for in-band access to the
|
|
IBM RSA (Condor) service processor in eServer xSeries systems.
|
|
The ibmasm device driver allows user space application to access
|
|
ASM (Advanced Systems Management) functions on the service
|
|
processor. The driver is meant to be used in conjunction with
|
|
a user space API.
|
|
The ibmasm driver also enables the OS to use the UART on the
|
|
service processor board as a regular serial port. To make use of
|
|
this feature serial driver support (CONFIG_SERIAL_8250) must be
|
|
enabled.

This support was made obsolete by the generic ACPI docking station

This option enables thinkpad-acpi hot key handling over the input

layer at driver load time. When it is unset, the driver does not

|
enable hot key handling by default, and also starts up with a mostly
|
|
empty keymap.
|
|
|
|
This option should be enabled if you have a new enough HAL or other
|
|
userspace support that properly handles the thinkpad-acpi event
|
|
device. It auto-tunes the hot key support to those reported by the
|
|
firmware and enables it automatically.
|
|
|
|
If unsure, say N here to retain the old behaviour of ibm-acpi, and
|
|
thinkpad-acpi up to kernel 2.6.21: userspace will have to enable and
|
|
set up the thinkpad-acpi hot key handling using the sysfs interace
|
|
after loading the driver.
