Subject: Fix Thinkpad A21m shutdown The A21m Thinkpad (maybe also others) have a GDCK method and a DOCK device. It seems that on others machines the GDCK is the docking device. Installing the notify handler for a GDCK device fails. When module is unloaded it is tried to remove the never installed notify handler for the GDCK method which seems to freeze the machine. Fix: Do not set notify_installed when installing the notify handler fails.
