[ltp] thinkpad-acpi release 0.23-20090920 uploaded to ibm-acpi.sf.net

[Henrique de Moraes Holschuh]

I have released version 0.23-20090920 of thinkpad-acpi through
the sourceforge.net release system.

Patches are available for 2.6.27, 2.6.28, 2.6.29, 2.6.30 and 2.6.31 at:
https://sourceforge.net/projects/ibm-acpi/files/thinkpad-acpi/0.23-20090920/

(support for 2.6.28 and 2.6.29 will be discontinued soon).

git users can get it directly from tags in:
git://repo.or.cz/linux-2.6/linux-acpi-2.6/ibm-acpi-2.6.git

This release has a lot of bug fixes (especially if you also take into
account the changes from release 0.23-20090801, which I forgot to
announce here).

The hotkey subdriver has seen extensive changes, and should behave
better on the older ThinkPads that needs polling and also when
ACPI-video is disabled.

I'd really like people to test and report how well it works, these
changes have already been submitted for kernel 2.6.32.

BTW: help is appreciated to verify if the driver is getting the
brightness mode right on the various IBM thinkpads.  The driver will log
a notice asking for a report in that case.
