Subject: [PATCH] Documentation: dell-laptop: correct als_setting description
Date: Fri, 2 Jan 2015 12:06:50 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1420196810-8855-1-git-send-email-gabriele.mzt@gmail.com> (raw)
It was incorrectly stated that als_setting is to enable and disable
the ambient light sensor on supported system rather than setting a
threshold value. Correct the description and add a note to make more
clear what could be the effect of changing als_setting.
