Could you please create two bugs on https://bugzilla.kernel.org/ ? One for 
function key, another one for accelerometer. I prefer to collect debug 
messages/files on bugzilla for reference in the future. Please send bug
number to me after you created it.

On the other hand, please attach your acpidump result on bugzilla:
 # acpidump > acpidump.raw

I want to check the DSDT table for more detail.

Thanks a lot!
