This archive contains diagnostic logs from a Samsung Galaxy Book Pro 360
running Fedora 42 (kernel 6.14.9), intended to help debug the failure of the
samsung_laptop kernel module to load.

I am running Fedora 42 with kernel 6.14.9 on a Samsung Galaxy Book Pro 360
(first generation).

The keyboard backlight is not working and does not appear in /sys/class/leds/.
The Fn keys related to keyboard backlight do not trigger ACPI events either.

Attempting to load the samsung_laptop kernel module fails with:

    modprobe: ERROR: could not insert 'samsung_laptop': No such device

This suggests the device is not supported or not detected correctly by the DMI
table lookup used by the module.

Attached is a tar.gz file with full system diagnostics including:
- dmidecode
- dmesg
- journalctl
- lsmod
- lsusb / lspci
- /sys/firmware/acpi/tables/DSDT if available

Please advise if support for this model can be added or if there's any
workaround.
