Any response would be welcome. I have some additional thoughts about the patch. I don't know whether it is a good idea to introduce a whitelist of laptops that the special command applies to like I did, or would it be better to enable that command for every laptop that reports having that command. I also thought that maybe the maintainer of the module has some more Samsung laptops to test. Moreover, I was asked about the unavailability of this module which exposes some abilities of the laptop otherwise missing (e.g. the battery saving mode, SABI access for this lid handling issue, some LED functionality for other laptops) in UEFI mode. Unfortunately, I could not help about that. I see that he has asked about that himself but got no reply. I would be also interested in the state of this issue. Thank you. Julijonas
