From 69c86373c6ea1149aa559e6088362d58d8ec8835 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: "florian@mickler.org" Date: Wed, 24 Feb 2010 12:05:16 +0100 Subject: Document the rfkill sysfs ABI This moves sysfs ABI info from Documentation/rfkill.txt to the ABI subfolder and reformats it. This also schedules the deprecated sysfs parts to be removed in 2012 (claim file) and 2014 (state file). Signed-off-by: Florian Mickler Signed-off-by: John W.
