    ACPI: don't duplicate input events on netlink · 962ce8ca
    Zhang Rui 提交于
    The previous events patch added a netlink event for every
    user of the legacy /proc/acpi/event interface.
    
    However, some users of /proc/acpi/event are really input events,
    and they already report their events via the input layer.
    
    Introduce a new interface, acpi_bus_generate_netlink_event(),
    which is explicitly called by devices that want to repoprt
    events via netlink.  This allows the input-like events
    to opt-out of generating netlink events.  In summary:
    
    events that are sent via netlink:
    	ac/battery/sbs
    	thermal
    	processor
    	thinkpad_acpi dock/bay
    
    events that are sent via input layer:
    	button
    	video hotkey
    	thinkpad_acpi hotkey
    	asus_acpi/asus-laptop hotkey
    	sonypi/sonylaptop
