[PATCH v4] lenovo-wmi-hotkey: Fixed a kernel bug failed with error -5
Posted by Jackie Dong 3 months ago 
Not all of Lenovo non-ThinkPad devices support both mic mute LED (on F4)
and audio mute LED (on F1). Some of them only support one mute LED, some
of them don't have any mute LED. Add a decision to judge this device
support mute LED or not. Without this decision, not support both of mic
mute LED and audio mute LED Lenovo non-ThinkPad brand devices (including
Ideapad/Yoga/Xiaoxin/Gaming/ThinkBook, etc.) will report a failed message
with error -5.

Changes in v4:
 - Simplify the logic code as (!obj || obj->type != ACPI_TYPE_INTEGER).
 - Drop "now" of the warning messages.

Changes in v3:
 - Reverse orignal logic  (obj && obj->type == ACPI_TYPE_INTEGER)
   and add new decision for (led_version == 0).
 - Optimize the descriptions based on reviewer comments.

Changes in v2:
 - Add warning message and then return 0 if the device support mute LED
   abnormaly, based on Hans suggestion and Armin previous patch.

Thanks. I applied this to the review-ilpo-fixes branch after doing major 
rephrasing to the changelog.
