Subject: Re: [PATCH v2] ACPI / EC: Clear stale EC events on Samsung systems
Date: Wed, 05 Mar 2014 22:36:05 -0300	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <5317D105.6050206@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <CAGf84QK-N+C6eHct4XDzOCHwfN649F2okJ1y2V70wWz-wHFKEA@mail.gmail.com>

Beware, the context line:        
             static struct dmi_system_id ec_dmi_table[] __initdata = {
has changed in recent kernels, so that line of the patch would need
to be different for it to apply older kernels.
It used to be this:
             static struct dmi_system_id __initdata ec_dmi_table[] = {
until 3.11 I guess.

It is just a context line and is not important for the patch itself.

See:

Cheers!
