Yes, I have an IBM ThinkPad 600E. I need this patch in order to
be able receive accurate time using a DCF77 receiver attached
to the serial port.

I recall reading something in the ACPI spec that says that the power

for this order (_SRS followed by _PS0) is the symmetry to the required
_PS3 followed by _DIS (according to the spec).
