-If you want to find out which process caused the disk to spin up, you can
-gather information by setting the flag /proc/sys/vm/block_dump. When this flag

-block_dump is written to the kernel output, and it can be retrieved using

+-------------------
+
+sysfs: dytc_lapmode
+
+Newer thinkpads and mobile workstations have the ability to determine if
+the device is in deskmode or lapmode. This feature is used by user space
+to decide if WWAN transmission can be increased to maximum power and is
+also useful for understanding the different thermal modes available as
+they differ between desk and lap mode.
+
+The property is read-only. If the platform doesn't have support the sysfs

+Setting keyboard language
+-------------------------
+
+sysfs: keyboard_lang
+
+This feature is used to set keyboard language to ECFW using ASL interface.
+Fewer thinkpads models like T580 , T590 , T15 Gen 1 etc.. has "=", "(',
+")" numeric keys, which are not displaying correctly, when keyboard language
+is other than "english". This is because the default keyboard language in ECFW
+is set as "english". Hence using this sysfs, user can set the correct keyboard
+language to ECFW and then these key's will work correctly.
+
+Example of command to set keyboard language is mentioned below::
+
+ echo jp > /sys/devices/platform/thinkpad_acpi/keyboard_lang
+
+Text corresponding to keyboard layout to be set in sysfs are: be(Belgian),
+cz(Czech), da(Danish), de(German), en(English), es(Spain), et(Estonian),

+WWAN Antenna type

+sysfs: wwan_antenna_type

+On some newer Thinkpads we need to set SAR value based on the antenna
+type. This interface will be used by userspace to get the antenna type
+and set the corresponding SAR value, as is required for FCC certification.
+
+The available commands are::
+
+ cat /sys/devices/platform/thinkpad_acpi/wwan_antenna_type

+The property is read-only. If the platform doesn't have support the sysfs

+Auxmac
+------
+
+sysfs: auxmac
+
+Some newer Thinkpads have a feature called MAC Address Pass-through. This
+feature is implemented by the system firmware to provide a system unique MAC,
+that can override a dock or USB ethernet dongle MAC, when connected to a
+network. This property enables user-space to easily determine the MAC address
+if the feature is enabled.
+
+The values of this auxiliary MAC are:
+
+ cat /sys/devices/platform/thinkpad_acpi/auxmac
+
+If the feature is disabled, the value will be 'disabled'.
+
+This property is read-only.

+sysfs attributes:

+
+These two attributes are created for those batteries that are supported by the
+driver. They enable the user to control the battery charge thresholds of the
+given battery. Both values may be read and set. `charge_control_start_threshold`
+accepts an integer between 0 and 99 (inclusive); this value represents a battery
+percentage level, below which charging will begin. `charge_control_end_threshold`
+accepts an integer between 1 and 100 (inclusive); this value represents a battery
+percentage level, above which charging will stop.
+
+The exact semantics of the attributes may be found in
