From d2052c1676a39cae101a81f3da8a4ade8b668c88 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Erik Waling Date: Tue, 6 Sep 2005 15:17:02 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] sonypi SPIC initialisation fix Newer Sony VAIO models (VGN-S480, VGN-S460, VGN-S3XP etc) use a new method to initialize the SPIC device. The new way to initialize (and disable) the device comes directly from the AML code in the _CRS, _SRS and _DIS methods from the DSDT table. This patch adds support for the new models.
