Change subject: lenovo: Add various vbt.bin ......................................................................
Patch Set 1:
While I have no overall objection to the inclusion of these files, could we change the filename for all of the current vbts to something like data.vbt? This could also help with makefiles, since .bin is pretty generic, where as .vbt is specific as to the file type.
How about <boardname>.vbt to have something that doesn't look too weird? Maybe <boardname>-ccfl.vbt, <boardname>-led.vbt for those older ThinkPads?
Since the data is documented, is it possible to save it as a text file and turn it into a binary with bincfg?
In theory, yes. But the spec is platform dependent and loooooong, also see [1].
