Hi,

I noticed that a new machine I got yesterday, Dell Latitude E7270,
always shows the error at boot time:
	dell_laptop: Setting old previous keyboard state failed

 From what I read from the code, it seems non-fatal.  But is it a way
to "fix" it?

Or shouldn't we simply lower the printk level?


thanks,

Takashi
