    ACPI: button: remove control method/fixed hardware distinctions · d68b597c

    This patch removes the driver distinction between control method (CM)
    and fixed hardware (FF) buttons.  We previously needed that so we
    could install either a fixed event handler or a notify handler, but
    the Linux/ACPI code now handles that for us, so we don't need to
    worry about it.
    
    Note that this removes the FF/CM annotation from the "info" files
    in /proc.  For example,
    
        /proc/acpi/button/PWRF/info:
        -type:		Power Button (FF)
        +type:		Power Button
    
    I don't think there's anything meaningful user-space can do by
    knowing whether a button is a control method or a fixed hardware
    button, so nobody should be looking at the FF/CM.
