Subject: [GIT PULL] x86 platform driver updates

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)

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,
