[PATCH] toshiba_acpi: Avoid registering input device on WMI event laptops

[PATCH] toshiba_acpi: Avoid registering input device on WMI event laptops

[Azael Avalos]

Commit f11f999e9890 ("toshiba_acpi: Refuse to load on machines with
buggy INFO implementations") denied loading on laptops with a WMI Event
GUID given that such laptops manage the hotkeys via that interface,
however, such laptops have a working Toshiba Configuration Interface
(TCI), and thus, such commit denied several supported features.

This patch avoids registering the input device and ignores all hotkey
events on laptops with such WMI Event GUI, making the supported
features found in those laptops to work.

It's best practice to avoid contractions in any form of technical writing. (See
what I did there? ;-)

While this is good for comments, I feel it's more important for kernel messages.

Good idea to capitalize acronyms like GUID.

Functional content looks good. No need to resend, just please keep the above in
mind for the future. I'll make the minor updates and merge all three after your
response to the first regarding user:kernel interface - unless of course you
choose to resend the 3 at the same time, and I'll pick those up.

Thanks Azael,

OK, will keep those things in mind, will wait for comments on first patch and
send a v2.

I believe I've responded to all the patches in my queue from you. If I'm missing
one, please let me know which one. I have 4 pending from you. If you send a v2,
would you just send all 4 to avoid any confusion?

I was waiting for some feedback on the first patch, tho' if there is
no problem with
it, I'll send v2 in a few for you to queue, plus a few others for-review.
