Subject: Re: [REGRESSION 3.14-rc6] Samsung N150 lid does not "open" after
 suspend to RAM.

Sure, I understand that you need to test it, that's why I am asking. I 
don't want an untested patch to be included in the kernel either. We 
also have to make sure that the patch fix the regression for all the 
affected Samsung laptops.

For the EC_SC code, I am using the first version of the patch without 
the pr_info line, so I need to recompile the kernel. I'll let you know 
as soon as it's done.

Best regards,

Nicolas Porcel
