Thanks for the report and patch. First of all, have you reported the issue to Lenovo? At least they will know that they did wrong. Second, is it possible to have somewhere output of `acpidump -o flex5g.dat` (the flex5g.dat file)? And as Mika said once to one of mine patches "since you know the number ahead there is no need to pollute GPIO ACPI library core with this quirk". But in any case I would like to see the ACPI tables first. -- With Best Regards, Andy Shevchenko
