[PATCH 6.6 019/676] platform/x86: dell-wmi-base: Handle META key Lock/Unlock events

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

 



6.6-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

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

From: Kurt Borja <kuurtb@xxxxxxxxx>

[ Upstream commit ec61f0bb4feec3345626a2b93b970b6719743997 ]

Some Alienware devices have a key that locks/unlocks the Meta key. This
key triggers a WMI event that should be ignored by the kernel, as it's
handled by internally the firmware.

There is no known way of changing this default behavior. The firmware
would lock/unlock the Meta key, regardless of how the event is handled.

Tested on an Alienware x15 R1.
