And if the side effects Pali wrote about are not expected, perhaps there is a well-known subset of devices this call can be whitelisted or blacklisted on? -- Best regards, Michał Kępień -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe platform-driver-x86" in the body of a message to [email protected] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
