[PATCH 4/4] toshiba_acpi: Add blacklist for devices with hotkey problems

From: Seth Forshee
Date: Thu Dec 15 2011 - 13:07:20 EST


The Satellite C670-10V has buggy implementation of the INFO method that
causes ACPI exceptions when executed:

ACPI Error: Result stack is empty! State=ffff88012d70f800 (20110413/dswstate-98)
ACPI Exception: AE_AML_NO_RETURN_VALUE, Missing or null operand (20110413/dsutils-646)
ACPI Exception: AE_AML_NO_RETURN_VALUE, While creating Arg 0 (20110413/dsutils-763)
ACPI Error: Method parse/execution failed [\_SB_.VALZ.GETE] (Node ffff880131175eb0), AE_AML_NO_RETURN_VALUE (20110413/psparse-536)
ACPI Error: Method parse/execution failed [\_SB_.VALZ.INFO] (Node ffff880131175ed8), AE_AML_NO_RETURN_VALUE (20110413/psparse-536)
toshiba_acpi: ACPI INFO method execution failed
toshiba_acpi: Failed to query hotkey event

To work around this, add a blacklist of models with hotkey problems and
add this model to that list.
