I don't mind adding that as a module paramenter and a sysfs control, but
make it a multi-value integer as follows:
-1: auto (right now that means don't touch it. We can change its meaning
after some testing)
0 : disable hw mute
1 : enable hw mute
All other values must return -EINVAL (reserved, to be implemented later).
On thinkpads where no SHDA functionality is supported, do not publish the
sysfs node. I can test in the T43 if it is EC-supported but not published
in the DSDT, please send me the relevant acpidump of a thinkpad that
implements SHDA, please.
Relevant documentation patch for Documentation/laptops/thinkpad-acpi.txt is
required for an Ack, of course :-)

Agreed.
