Subject: [PATCH] toshiba_acpi: Fix regression caused by backlight extra check code
Date: Mon, 3 Nov 2014 20:58:34 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1415073514-12555-1-git-send-email-coproscefalo@gmail.com> (raw)
Bug 86521 uncovered that some TOS6208 devices also return
non zero values on a write call to the backlight method,
thus getting caught and bailed out by the extra check code.
This patch makes sure that the extra check is being done
on a TOS1900 device and then make the check for the broken
backlight code.
