[PATCH v2 1/2] platform/x86: think-lmi: Fix issues with duplicate attributes

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



On an AMD based Lenovo T14, I find that the module doesn't work at
all, and instead has a traceback with messages like:

```
sysfs: cannot create duplicate filename '/devices/virtual/firmware-attributes/thinklmi/attributes/Reserved'
```

Duplicate and reserved values showing up appear to be a firmware bug,
but they shouldn't make the driver explode.  So catch them and skip
them.

V1->V2 changes:
 * Don't show reserved objects either
 * Clear the object so it doesn't explode on module unload
