samsung-laptop: Samsung 530U3C major ACPI issues

[Sebastian Riemer]

Hi Greg,

as you're the maintainer of the samsung-laptop driver I think that you
can help with getting support for the Samsung 530U3C laptop into it.

My colleague Adrian reports the following ACPI issues:
- the closing of the lid isn't detected
- if the DC power supply is removed, this isn't detected
- Wifi LED is always turned on even if Wifi is deactivated
- high battery consumption

Attached you can find the debug data from "dmesg" and "lshw" from Fedora
17. The kernel messages already indicate ACPI issues.

How can we support you with getting the 530U3C support into the
samsung-laptop driver?

Cheers,
Sebastian

Wait, no, I am not the maintainer of that driver anymore, please see the
MAINTAINERS file for the correct maintainer.

Or, you can use the scripts/get_maintainer.pl tool to determine this:

$ ./scripts/get_maintainer.pl --file drivers/platform/x86/samsung-laptop.c
Corentin Chary <***@iksaif.net> (maintainer:SAMSUNG LAPTOP DR...)
Matthew Garrett <***@redhat.com> (maintainer:X86 PLATFORM DRIVERS)
platform-driver-***@vger.kernel.org (open list:SAMSUNG LAPTOP DR...)
linux-***@vger.kernel.org (open list)

I suggest you resend this message to Corentin, and cc: the other people
and lists listed above.

Hope this helps,

greg k-h
