Hi,

I know there already is a v3 out and I will try to get around to reviewing
that soon, still 1 remark about the discussion surrounding v2:

*The flow is like this:
1) User presses key. HW does stuff with this key (timeout is started)
2) Event is emitted from FW
3) Event received by dell-privacy
4) KEY_MICMUTE emitted from dell-privacy
5) Userland picks up key and modifies kcontrol for SW mute
6) Codec kernel driver catches and calls ledtrig_audio_set, like this:
ledtrig_audio_set(LED_AUDIO_MICMUTE,
rt715->micmute_led ? LED_ON :LED_OFF);
7) If "LED" is set to on dell-privacy notifies ec,
and timeout is cancelled,HW mic mute activated.

Please proofread the commit message again, and pay attention to capitalization
and spacing.
I want to reformat it and move the commit info to cover letter.
Please also put a copy of this as a comment in either the wmi or the
acpi driver (with a comment pointing to the comment in the other) this is
important info to have for someone reading the code and trying to understand
how this all fits together.

Regards,

Hans

Hi Hans:

Agreed.

I will add this to the driver comments and explain how the acpi/wmi driver associated.
