    thinkpad-acpi: recognize latest V-Series using DMI_BIOS_VENDOR · a4f46bb9
    Manoj Iyer authored
    In the latest V-series bios DMI_PRODUCT_VERSION does not contain
    the string Lenovo or Thinkpad, but is set to the model number, this
    causes the thinkpad_acpi module to fail to load. Recognize laptop
    as Lenovo using DMI_BIOS_VENDOR instead, which is set to Lenovo.
    
    Test on V490u
    =============
    == After the patch ==

    == Before the patch ==
    sudo modprobe thinkpad_acpi
    FATAL: Error inserting thinkpad_acpi (/lib/modules/3.2.0-27-generic/kernel/drivers/platform/x86/thinkpad_acpi.ko): No such device
    
    Test on B485
    =============
    This patch was also test in a B485 where the thinkpad_acpi module does not
    have any issues loading. But, I tested it to make sure this patch does not
    break on already functioning models of Lenovo products.
