asus-nb-wmi does not add any extra functionality on these Asus Transformer books. They have detachable keyboards, so the hotkeys are send through a HID device (and handled by the hid-asus driver) and also the rfkill functionality is not used on these devices. Besides not adding any extra functionality, initializing the WMI interface on these devices actually has a negative side-effect. For some reason the \_SB.ATKD.INIT() function which asus_wmi_platform_init() calls drives GPO2 (INT33FC:02) pin 8, which is connected to the front facing webcam LED, high and there is no (WMI or other) interface to drive this low again causing the LED to be permanently on, even during suspend. This commit adds a blacklist of DMI system_ids on which not to load the asus-nb-wmi and adds these Transformer books to this list. This fixes the webcam LED being permanently on under Linux.

Because of the BYT/CHT work which I do as a side project I have a bunch of BYT/CHT based 2-in-1s as test devices, including the T100TA and T200TA. So recently I've been looking into properly reporting SW_TABLET_MODE state to userspace to let userspace know if the keyboard of these detachables is attached or not; and guess what, the Asus models report this through WMI. So blacklisting is not the right thing to do here after all :| I do have a plan for another fix for this (which will also involve DMI matching)... Andy, Darren, I see that you have already added this to the for-next branch of linux-platform-drivers-x86. I'm not sure what your vision on forced pushed there is. If forced pushes are ok, please drop this patch. If not let me know and I will send out a revert. Regards, Hans
