Hi Mika,

I tested your patches with a couple of changes on the Lenovo W541.

The attached patch contains the two things I needed to get the same
functionality
as my patches.

I'm really not in love with the per-chipset enablement for this,
really any chipsets
after a certain year should probably be better, as we'll constantly be
adding PCI Ids
for every chipset ever made, and I expect we'll forget some.

Dave.
