Plenty of high-profile changes, so it deserves a new version number.
Features added since 0.22:
* Restrict unsafe LEDs
* New race-less brightness control strategy for IBM ThinkPads
* Disclose TGID of driver access from userspace (debug)
* Warn when deprecated functions are used

Len,
This patchset has some fixes for thinkpad-acpi in 2.6.30-rc. The first
one fixes a regression, the second fixes code that has never worked in the

sending them to Linus for 2.6.30-rc2/rc3.
