Oh, and thanks to you too Dmitry for your continuous maintenance :) This is probably an appropriate moment to announce my resignation from the sonypi maintainership. After five years, I found myself less and less interested in working on this driver, and more and more frustrated by the Sony complete lack of support. They ignored all the requests for documentation I and several others made, both from outside and from inside Sony. They also keep changing the hardware interfaces, so it has become increasingly difficult to support the newer Vaios in sonypi. At this point, I wouldn't recommend anyone buying a Sony laptop. Other manufacturers are more Linux-friendly and overall their laptops are much better supported under Linux than the Sony's. I already did the switch myself a few months ago, buying an Apple Powerbook, and today I am very glad I did. I am still answering to the sonypi related questions for the time being but if someone is interested in taking over, just contact me. Otherwise, I will submit a patch marking the driver as unmaintained in a few days. The meye driver (MotionEye camera for the PictureBook C1 series) is also going the same path, but since the hardware is not produced anymore (and hasn't been for a long time now), I don't expect it to find another maintainer. > > sonypi: unknown event port1=0x0f,port2=0x05 [...] > > Oh, there seems to be a spurious interrupt happening at modules > > insertion (I suspect sonypi_enable triggering and ignoring it), but this > > happens with the old module too and I never noticed it before.

I am not sure this event is available on all the sonypi supported platforms, that's why it hasn't been defined as a known event. And it doesn't make much sense to forward it anyways. I would leave it like it is now.
