Subject: [PATCH 2.6.27.stable] ACPI: dock: avoid check _STA method

    ACPI: dock: avoid check _STA method
    
    In some BIOSes, every _STA method call will send a notification again,
    this cause freeze. And in some BIOSes, it appears _STA should be called
    after _DCK. This tries to avoid calls _STA, and still keep the device
    present check.
