[PATCH] Documentation: dell-laptop: correct als_setting description
From: Gabriele Mazzotta
Date: Fri Jan 02 2015 - 06:08:00 EST
It was incorrectly stated that als_setting is to enable and disable
the ambient light sensor on supported system rather than setting a
threshold value. Correct the description and add a note to make more
clear what could be the effect of changing als_setting.

+ Note that the 'als' trigger must be supported and enabled
