[PATCH 3.16 025/346] hp-wmi: Fix wifi cannot be hard-unblocked

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

 



3.16.39-rc1 review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Alex Hung <alex.hung@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>

commit fc8a601e1175ae351f662506030f9939cb7fdbfe upstream.

Several users reported wifi cannot be unblocked as discussed in [1].
This patch removes the use of the 2009 flag by BIOS but uses the actual
WMI function calls - it will be skipped if WMI reports unsupported.
