Yeah,

this patch adds a dmi quirk *and* a module parameter which looks kinda
too much to me. In any case, Andreas needs to look at this since he's
been dealing with those old laptops.

Jason, can you clean up your patch, drop the module parameter, write a
proper commit message, run it through checkpatch.pl and send it as a
reply to this thread with a mail client which doesn't mangle it so that
we can look at it further?

Thanks.
