[ltp] [ANN] tp_smapi 0.22

[Shem Multinymous]

Hi,

A new release of tp_smapi is available, providing improved stability,
hdaps support for more models (may require "force=1") and many
internal enhancements. There is no change in external functionality
apart from the removal of some nonsensical sysfs files from the hdaps
driver.

----------------
- hdaps: Added support for X60s (but X axis is still inverted).
- tp_base: Wait until EC starts replying before considering a request
  successful (this improves stability and eliminates abnormal events.)
- hdaps: Removed /sys/devices/platform/hdaps/{variance,temp2}. They actually
  show an older pending readout (if there is one), so it never makes sense
  to read them via the existing interface.
- tp_base: Added many additional status and consistency checks on EC,
  to give early warning on any strange behavior.
- tp_base: New constants and comments greatly clarify access to the EC.
- hdaps: Convert all init code to use tp_base transactions. Mo more direct
  IO port access.
- hdaps: Move some init code to new functions hdaps_set_power() and
  hdaps_set_ec_config(). These will be exposed as attributes in the future.
- hdaps: If init failed, tell at which step it happened.
- tp_base: Allow additional inputs and optional outputs to EC requests.
- tp_base: Decrease timeout for reply to request.
- Kconfig: Make TP_BASE an invisible tristate option
- tp_base: Rename tp_controller_trylock() to tp_controller_try_lock().
- tp_base: make tp_controller_lock() return an int; have it checked in
  tp_smapi and hdaps.
- tp_base: Rewrote all printk()s using macros, and made debug=1 quieter.
- Makefile: work even if $SHELL is not bash.
- Makefile: Autopatch hdaps patch to work with 2.6.18-rc1
