ACPI: thinkpad-acpi: checkpoint sysfs interface version due to hotkey

Browse Source 
The change in the size of the hotkey mask, the hability to report the keys
that use the higher bits, and the addition of the hotkey_radio_sw attribute
are important enough features to warrant increasing the minor field of the
sysfs interface version.

Also, document a bit better how and when the thinkpad-acpi sysfs interface
version will be updated.

@ -134,6 +134,21 @@ end of this document. Changes to the sysfs interface done by the kernel
subsystems are not documented here, nor are they tracked by this
attribute.
Changes to the thinkpad-acpi sysfs interface are only considered
non-experimental when they are submitted to Linux mainline, at which
point the changes in this interface are documented and interface_version
may be updated. If you are using any thinkpad-acpi features not yet
sent to mainline for merging, you do so on your own risk: these features
may disappear, or be implemented in a different and incompatible way by
the time they are merged in Linux mainline.
Changes that are backwards-compatible by nature (e.g. the addition of
attributes that do not change the way the other attributes work) do not
always warrant an update of interface_version. Therefore, one must
expect that an attribute might not be there, and deal with it properly
(an attribute not being there *is* a valid way to make it clear that a
feature is not available in sysfs).
