Sony Vaio dmi_scan.c

[Leonardo G. Di Lella]

Hello list,

there is an old prefix value in the dmi_scan.c.

Line: 694 (Kernel 2.6.7)

{ sony_vaio_laptop, "Sony Vaio", { /* This is a Sony Vaio laptop
        */            
                            MATCH(DMI_SYS_VENDOR, "Sony Corporation"),
                            MATCH(DMI_PRODUCT_NAME, "PCG-"),
                            NO_MATCH, NO_MATCH,
                            } },

The DMI_PRODUCT_NAME doesnt match on newer vaio notebooks. (The newer 
A-series from sony vaio have VGN as product name instead of PCG - older 
model)
This is the reason why the sonypi doesnt run on newer vaio notebooks.
Maybe it is better to delete the line MATCH(DMI_PRODUCT_NAME, "PCG-").
