Re: Lenovo T470s Questions

Hi, Michael.
Noticed your previous post after sending mine. :-)

Fallback code for older ThinkPads looks reasonable and gives no new
(not known) regression.

As I don't have new (0x200) ThinkPads (T420 is my latest),
I cannot review and test for new protocol and functionality.
Sorry.

Just FYI, `acpidump -d -t DSDT | fgrep MHKV` on my T420 claims
"Method (MHKV, 0, NotSerialized)" only. So it would go fallback way.

Preferrably, user(s) of latest (i.e, T480) models pops in and report
this worked or not. [Is there one more protocol like 0x300?]


Thanks for your work!
