It looks like only Toshiba Satellite have this flaw.
It would not be fair to every Linux/ACPI system out there
to double ACPI table size because of bugs at Toshiba.
Perhaps we should wild-card and make this the default
for all Toshiba Satellite. I expect we can do this
simply by leaving the model number off. eg
- DMI_MATCH(DMI_PRODUCT_NAME, "Satellite L505D"),
+ DMI_MATCH(DMI_PRODUCT_NAME, "Satellite"),
The down-side, of course, is that Satellite's in the future
will continue to pay for the bugs of Satellite's past --
but I'd not lose any sleep over that.
thanks,
