From 0dcef77c5b889338811d35e786b42046259fe433 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Henrique de Moraes Holschuh Date: Sat, 21 Apr 2007 11:08:34 -0300 Subject: ACPI: thinkpad-acpi: improve thinkpad detection Improve the detection of ThinkPads, so as to reduce the chances of false positives. Since this could potentially add false negatives on the very old models, add a module parameter to force the detection of a thinkpad.
