Armin, thank you for creating a new cleaned up driver for the
quickstart button support.
I have managed to get my hands on a Toshiba Portege Z830 and
I have successfully tested this series. That is this makes
the 2 quickstart application and the toggle-touchpad button
work when the system is running normally.
Neither the quickstart buttons, nor the touchpad-toggle button
which also uses the PNP0C32 interface, work to wakeup
the system from sleep though.
I've also review both patches and they look good to me:
Tested-by: Hans de Goede <[email protected]>
Reviewed-by: Hans de Goede <[email protected]>
So I plan to merge this series into pdx86/for-next once
6.9-rc1 is out.
Regards,
Hans

Hi,
great to hear that the driver works. Can you send me the output of "acpidump" on this machine?
Maybe the quickstart buttons have no wake capabilities?
Thanks,
Armin Wolf

That is some dedication! Sorry for completely dropping the ball on this,
real life happened and I had to prioritise. My beginning "carreer" as a
kernel developer was one of the things that ended up getting cut.
I'm going to do a quick bug report while I'm writing an email here. I
noticed on my Z830 that the readouts of the charge control thresholds
didn't seem to work when I last tested it. Setting worked just fine, but
reading it always returns 100%. Didn't get around to debugging this, but I
assume it a simple error.
Also my Z830 have developed a whole horizontal line of stuck red pixels
across the middle of the screen, so it seems quite unlikely I'll use it
much more or even keep it long term.

This is probably a limitation of the hardware. Though there are IIRC some
BIOS options for what should wake the laptop from power-off, including any
keyboard press whatsoever. (Fun fact: The Toshiba ACPI interface allows
changing these BIOS settings from the OS, though you would have to do it by
hand from user space currently as it is not exposed in the driver.)
